    Reference to the Philippine government, contained in the source 
statute for 10:1371, is omitted, since the Philippine Republic now has 
the status of a foreign country and only possessions of the United 
States are intended to be covered by the source statute. The words 
``Armed Services Department'' are substituted for the words ``Army and 
Navy Department'', in 10:1370, to reflect the present name of that 
Department of the Young Men's Christian Association. (See also third 
sentence of revision note for section 4746 of this title, below.)


                               Amendments

    1960--Pub. L. 86-624 struck out cl. (6) which authorized 
transportation of officers and employees of the Territory of Hawaii, 
redesignated cls. (7) to (9) as (6) to (8), respectively, and 
substituted ``clauses (1), (2), (4), (5), and (7)'' for ``clauses (1), 
(2), (4), (5), (6), and (8)'' in redesignated cl. (8), and ``clause (7) 
or (8)'' for ``clause (8) or (9)'' in closing sentence.
