    In subsection (a) the word ``lend'' is substituted for the word 
``furnish'' because of the provision for return of the equipment. The 
words ``man-of-war's'' are omitted as obsolete. The words ``attending 
the school'' are substituted for the words ``in actual attendance''.
    In subsection (b) the words ``To be eligible for a loan under this 
section'' are added, and the subsection is phrased as a condition.
