    In subsection (a), the words ``may be used'' are substituted for the 
words ``shall be available''. The words ``on account of'' are omitted as 
surplusage. The words ``under his jurisdiction'' are inserted for 
clarity, since the Secretary of Defense has no jurisdiction over the 
Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy.
