dependents and household effects may be transported under this section.
    (b) Authority to transport household effects under this section 
includes authority to pack and unpack those effects.

The transportation may be by Government or commercial facilities.
    (d) In place of the transportation in kind authorized for 
dependents, the Secretary may authorize the payment, after the travel 
has been completed, of an amount equal to the commercial transportation 
costs, including taxes if paid, of all parts of the travel for which 
transportation in kind was not furnished.
    (e) Current appropriations available for travel and transportation 
may be used for expenditures under this section.

    In subsection (a) the words ``without regard to rank or grade'' and 
``or subsequent to the discharge or release of such personnel from 
active service'' are omitted as applicable only to members of the naval 
service. The Act of February 18, 1946, 60 Stat. 20, applied to both 
civilian and naval personnel and was amended by the Act of October 12, 
1949, ch. 681, Sec. 524, by deleting therefrom all reference to naval 
personnel. The words ``the continental limits of'' and ``or in Alaska'' 
are omitted as covered by the term ``outside the United States''.
