    The words ``that * * * will provide the most beneficial treatment'' 
are substituted for the words ``best calculated to promise a restoration 
of reason'' for clarity. The second sentence of 34 U.S.C. 595 is omitted 
as superseded. It provided a method by which the Secretary of the Navy, 
in his discretion, could compensate other agencies for expenses involved 
in hospitalizing insane naval patients. Other provisions of law, 
principally 24 U.S.C. 31, 31 U.S.C. 686, and 37 U.S.C. 284, and 
regulations, principally Executive Order 10122, of April 14, 1950, 
establish the method currently used.
