    The words ``the cost of each ration for that mess'' are substituted 
for the words ``the monetary limit of the cost of ration aboard such 
ships and at such stations'' to make it clear that the figure fixed by 
the Secretary of the Navy under this section is the amount the mess may 
spend per day for food for each man subsisting at the mess.
