In subsection (a) before clause (1), the words “or appropriations” are omitted because of 1:1. The words “further” and “under the jurisdiction of the Commission” are omitted as unnecessary. In clause (2), the words “who shall be hired for local employment relating to the care and maintenance of such cemeteries, monuments, and memorials” are omitted as unnecessary.

Subsections (b) and (c) are based in part on 36:121b and 122a, which are from the first and last provisos in the paragraph under the heading “American Battle Monuments Commission” in title III of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 104–204, 110 Stat. 2907). The provisions have been repeated each year in prior appropriations acts and therefore are restated as permanent provisions. For prior provisions, see citations under 36:121b and 122a (1994 ed.).

In subsection (b), the words “departments, agencies, and instrumentalities” are substituted for “departments or agencies” and “departments, agencies, and services” in 36:121 and “agencies” in 36:122a for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. The words “or of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps” in 36:121 and “including the Armed Forces” in 36:122a are omitted as included in “department, agency, or instrumentality”. The words “as the case may be” in 36:121 are omitted as unnecessary. The word “salary” in 36:122a is omitted as included in “pay”.

In subsection (c), the words “Secretary of the Army” are substituted for “Department of the Army” because of 10:3013(a)(1).

Multiple entries for a section are listed most recent first, within the section.

The Session Year indicates which session of Congress was responsible for the changes classified. The Congress number forms the first part of the Public Law number; each Congress has two sessions.

Abbreviations used in the Description of Change column:

An empty field implies a standard amendment.
"new" means a new section or new note, or all new text of an existing section or note.
"nt" means note.
"nt [tbl]" means note [table].
"prec" means preceding.
"fr" means a transfer from another section.

The Public Law field is linked to the development of the law in the Thomas system at the Library of Congress.

The Statutes at Large field is linked to the text of the law, in the context of its volume of the Statutes at Large, at the Government Printing Office. Please note that it takes a while for these pages to get posted, so for very recent legislation, you need to look at the "enrolled" version at the Thomas site.

The Statutes at Large references have been rendered in the format used as page numbers in the Public Law web pages to which we link, to facilitate copy-paste into browser "find on this (web) page" tools. We are still working on a more direct link facility.

For serious comparison work, we suggest copying all or a portion of the Public Law text into your favorite text editor, for convenient content traversal and window control.

Sections with change type "new" are a special case, still under development. All are now listed, at the title level only.

You will find that occassionally a specific update you notice in a Public Law listed in a classification table will already have made it into the Code. We assume this is an artifact of the LRC edit process. The LII does not edit the LRC content.
