    The revised section is inserted to reflect the limited definition of 
the word ``member'' in section 102(b) of the Career Compensation Act of 
1949 (37 U.S.C. 231(b)).

                            1958 Act

    Aviation cadets were omitted from chapter 61 because Title IV of the 
Career Compensation Act of 1949 (formerly 37 U.S.C. 271 et seq.), which 
was the source law for this chapter, covered only members entitled to 
basic pay and it was believed that aviation cadets were not so entitled. 
However, the Comptroller General has ruled that aviation cadets are 
entitled to basic pay (30 Comp. Gen. 431). Accordingly, aviation cadets 
were covered by Title IV and should not be excepted from chapter 61.


                               Amendments

    1958--Pub. L. 85-861 struck out provisions which made chapter 
inapplicable to aviation cadets.


                    Effective Date of 1958 Amendment

33(g) of Pub. L. 85-861, set out as a note under section 101 of this 
title.
