    In subsection (a), the words ``On and after July 13, 1955'' are 
omitted as executed. The words ``An advance'' are substituted for 
``section 529 of this title shall not apply in the case of payments'' 
because of the restatement.
    In subsection (b), the words ``armed force of the United States'' 
are substituted for ``Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast 
Guard'' because of 10:101(4) and to avoid confusion with the phrase 
``armed force of a friendly foreign country''.
    In subsection (b)(1), before clause (A), the words ``the Secretary 
of Transportation with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not 
operating as a service in the Navy'' are substituted for ``the Secretary 
of the Treasury in their respective areas of responsibility'' because of 
14:3 and 49:1655(b)(1) and (2). The words ``disbursing official'' are 
substituted for ``cashiers, disbursing officers'' for consistency with 
other titles of the United States Code and to eliminate unnecessary 
words.

other'' for ``another'' in subsec. (b)(2)(C).
