    So much as pertains to the ``orders, regulations, and instructions 
issued by the Secretary of the Navy prior to July 14, 1862'' and the 
alterations thereto is omitted as executed, and the section is worded to 
preserve the remaining requirement that Navy Regulations must be issued 
with Presidential approval. The words ``United States Navy Regulations'' 
are substituted for the words ``regulations of the Navy'' to preserve 
the distinction between the permanent regulations of general 
applicability falling within this statute and the many other regulations 
issued by the Secretary alone under specific statutes and under his 
power to administer the Department.


                               Amendments

before the date of the enactment of this Act [Oct. 14, 1981] shall 
remain in effect in accordance with their terms until amended or revoked
