Sec. 6955. Midshipmen: allotment upon redistricting of 
        Congressional Districts
        
    If as a result of redistricting a State the domicile of a 
midshipman, or a nominee, nominated by a Representative falls within a 
congressional district other than that from which he was nominated, he 
is charged to the district in which his domicile so falls. For this 
purpose, the number of midshipmen otherwise authorized for that district 
is increased to include him. However, the number as so increased is 
reduced by one if he fails to become a midshipman or when he is finally 
separated from the Naval Academy.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 430.)

    The word ``domicile'' is substituted for the words ``place of 
residence'' to conform to the long-standing interpretation of this 
section (see also opinions of the Judge Advocate General of the Army R. 
29, 83; J.A.G. 351.11, Feb. 10, 1925). The words ``a congressional 
district other than that from which he was nominated'' are substituted 
for the word ``another''. The words ``were appointed with respect to'', 
``of the former district'', ``as additional numbers'', ``at such academy 
for the Representative'', ``temporarily'', and ``in attendance at either 
academy under an appointment from such former district'' are omitted as 
surplusage. The words ``the district in which his domicile so falls'' 
are substituted for the words ``of the latter district''. The words ``to 
include him'' are substituted for 34 U.S.C. 1032-1 (18 words before 
proviso). The words ``However, the number as so increased'' are 
substituted for 34 U.S.C. 1032-1 (1st 13 words of proviso). The words 
``if he fails to become a midshipman'' are inserted for clarity.
