    The words ``Secretary of Defense'' and ``Defense Mapping Agency'' 
are substituted for ``Secretary of the Navy'' and ``United States Naval 
Oceanographic Office'', respectively, for consistency with 10:2791. The 
word ``prescribed'' is substituted for ``determined'' for consistency in 
title 10. The last sentence, which provided that money from sales be 
covered into the Treasury, is omitted because of 31:3302.
