    In subsection (a), the words ``informed on stored'' are substituted 
for the words ``advised of storage''. The words ``particular regard'' 
are substituted for the words ``special reference''. The words ``inside 
or outside of'' are substituted for the words ``within or without''. The 
word ``selected'' is substituted for the word ``appointed'', since the 
filling of the position involved is not appointment to an office in the 
constitutional sense.
    In subsection (b), the words ``in carrying out'' are substituted for 
the words ``in the execution of''.


                               Amendments

    1996--Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 104-201 substituted ``a joint board 
selected by them composed of officers, civilian officers and employees 
of the Department of Defense, or both'' for ``a joint board of officers 
selected by them''.
