    In subsection (a) the word ``naval'' is omitted as surplusage.
    In subsection (b) the words ``except the authority to prescribe 
regulations'' are omitted, since 34 U.S.C. 606 contains no authority for 
the Secretary of the Navy to prescribe regulations for the 
administration of that section.
