    The words ``the appropriations for the pay of the Navy or the Marine 
Corps, as appropriate'', are substituted for the words ``the 
appropriation `Pay, subsistence, and transportation of naval personnel' 
'', to identify by a general description, rather than by the specific 
appropriation title, the appropriation authorized to be used. Specific 
appropriation titles vary from one appropriation act to the next. The 
permanent authority contained in 34 U.S.C. 359 for the Secretary of the 
Navy to use appropriations available for the pay of the Navy and the 
Marine Corps is not affected by a change in the titles of those 
appropriations nor is it affected by a specific authorization in an 
appropriation act to use, during the life of the act, a different type 
of appropriation.
