Sec. 7294. Suspension of construction in case of treaty

    In case of a treaty for the limitation of naval armament to which 
the United States is a signatory, the President may suspend so much of 
the authorized naval construction as is necessary to bring the naval 
vessels of the United States within the limitations agreed upon. Such a 
suspension does not apply to vessels under construction at the time the 
suspension is made.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 449.)

    The words ``the United States would welcome and support an 
international conference for naval limitations'' are omitted as a 
declaration of purpose without permanent or general significance. The 
word ``further'' is omitted since there is no such agreement in 
existence today. The word ``international'' is omitted as unnecessary 
since the word ``treaty'' necessarily involves an international 
understanding. The word ``may'' is substituted for the words ``is hereby 
authorized and empowered to'' for brevity.
