    This section is written to indicate that the Secretary of the Navy 
has discretion in authorizing the appointment or enlistment in the Naval 
Reserve of members of the Naval Militia but does not make such 
appointments or enlistments. Section 593 of this title, based on 50 
U.S.C. 942, 943, provides the manner in which all reserve appointments 
are made, and Sec. 510 of this title, based on 50 U.S.C. 941, 952, 956 
provides the authority to enlist persons in the reserve components. As 
worded, this section removes the conflicting statement of appointing 
authority, and allows appointments and enlistments to be controlled by 
these other provisions. The words ``rank'' and ``or rating'' are omitted 
as covered by the word ``grade''.
