    The words ``in the form'' and ``by States, municipalities, or 
otherwise'' are omitted as surplusage. The words ``the appropriation for 
the maintenance and operation of vessels'' are substituted for the words 
``the appropriation `Equipment of Vessels' '' to identify by a general 
description, rather than by a specific appropriation title, the 
appropriation authorized to be used.
