    In subsections (a), (b), and (d), the word ``maintain'' is 
substituted for the word ``establish'', and in subsection (c) the word 
``maintain'' is substituted for the word ``established'', since the 
lists have been established and are published annually.
    In subsection (a), the words ``Effective upon June 29, 1948'' are 
omitted as executed. 10:1001 (last 12 words of 1st sentence, and last 
sentence) is omitted as no longer required, since, upon enactment of 
this title, laws referring to the limited or unlimited retired list will 
be expressly repealed.
    In subsection (b), the word ``shall'' is substituted for the word 
``may'', since 10:1036 further requires that such a list be published 
annually in the Register. The requirement as to publication necessarily 
implies that the list must be maintained.
    Subsection (b)(1) is substituted for the words ``all commissioned 
officers and former commissioned officers * * * or the Air Force of the 
United States, as the case may be * * * or the Regular Air Force, 
heretofore or hereafter granted retirement pay under sections 456, 456a, 
and 1036a of this title, or any law hereafter enacted to provide 
retirement pay for commissioned officers * * * or the Regular Air 
Force''.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``who is advanced to a commissioned 
grade'' are substituted for the words ``heretofore or hereafter retired 
under any provision of law who, by reason of service in temporary 
commissioned grades * * * or the Air Force of the United States, or in 
any of the respective components thereof, are entitled to be retired 
with commissioned rank or grade''.
    Subsections (c) and (d) are inserted, since sections 8964 and 8965 
of this title refer to service on the retired list as a warrant officer 
or enlisted member.
