                       References in Text

    The Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act of 
1978, referred to in subsec. (a)(2), is Pub. L. 95-471, Oct. 17, 1978, 
92 Stat. 1325, as amended, which is classified principally to chapter 20 
(Sec. 1801 et seq.) of this title. For complete classification of this 
Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 1801 of this 
title and Tables.
    Section 2005(b) of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(3), was 
omitted from the Code.
    Section 2010 of this title, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the 
original ``section 1129'', meaning section 1129 of Pub. L. 95-561, which 
is classified to section 2009 of this title, and was translated as 
reading ``section 1130'' to reflect the probable intent of Congress, 
because section 2010, not section 2009, contains provisions relating to 
local financial plans.
