---------------------------------

    The word ``separated'' is substituted for the word ``discharged''. 
The words ``under honorable conditions'' are added since this provision 
is interpreted as benefiting personnel discharged under honorable 
conditions. The words ``Air Force'' are supplied under the authority of 
Sec. 305(a) of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
171l). The words ``Veterans' Administration'' are added under the 
authority of the Act of August 9, 1921, ch. 57, 42 Stat. 148, which 
transferred care of veterans to the Veterans' Bureau, the Act of June 7, 
1924, ch. 320, 43 Stat. 610, which transferred all hospitals under the 
jurisdiction of the Public Health Service to the Veterans' Bureau, and 
the Act of July 3, 1930, ch. 863, Sec. 1, 46 Stat. 1016, under which the 
President by Executive Order No. 5398, July 21, 1930, transferred the 
Veterans' Bureau to the Veterans' Administration. The words ``while 
undergoing such care and treatment'' are omitted as surplusage.


                               Amendments

    1989--Pub. L. 101-189 substituted ``Department of Veterans Affairs'' 
for ``Veterans' Administration''.
