    The word ``give'' is substituted for the words ``dispose of without 
charge''; the words ``naval purposes'' are substituted for the words 
``the Navy''; and the word ``sell'' is substituted for the words 
``dispose of * * * at prices''. The words ``to the Navy'' are omitted as 
surplusage. Since the corporate name of the organization is ``Boy Scouts 
of America'', that name is used to designate the transferee in lieu of 
words ``sea scout department'', and the words ``for the sea scouts'' are 
added.
