    In subsection (a) the phrase ``Except as otherwise provided by law'' 
is added to preserve provisions directing that the Chief of Naval 
Operations and other statutory offices and boards share in the business 
of the executive part of the Department of the Navy. The words ``The 
Bureau of Aeronautics shall be charged with matters pertaining to naval 
aeronautics'' in 5 U.S.C. 455 are omitted as implied in the name of the 
bureau and covered by the authority granted to the Secretary to 
distribute the business of the Department.
    In subsection (b) the words ``and shall have full force and effect 
as such'' are omitted as surplusage.
    In subsection (c) the words ``Under the Secretary'' are inserted to 
make the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 413 and 5 U.S.C. 430, the latter of 
which is here codified, harmonious and to give meaning to each 
provision.
