    The words ``Within the limitations as to numbers in grade prescribed 
in this Act'', so far as they relate to the Army and the Air Force, are 
omitted as executed by the declaration of the national emergency on 
December 16, 1950, in accordance with an opinion of the Judge Advocate 
General of the Army (JAGA 1951/6180, 17 Oct. 1951). So far as they 
relate to the Navy and the Marine Corps they are omitted as surplusage. 
The words ``may appoint'' are inserted to make it explicit that the 
revised section prescribes the appointment as well as the rank and pay 
that go with it. The word ``grade'' is substituted for the word 
``rank''. The words ``Navy or Marine Corps'' are substituted for the 
words ``Navy, including the Marine Corps''. The words ``Army, * * * Air 
Force'' are substituted for the words ``Army less the Air Corps * * * 
Air Corps''. The words ``pay and allowances of a vice admiral or 
lieutenant general'' are omitted as surplusage, since this is implicit 
upon appointment to the grade. The words ``and Naval'' are omitted to 
conform to the name ``Military Staff Committee'' established by Article 
47 of the United Nations Charter.
