(Apr. 16, 1934, ch. 147, Sec. 5, as added Pub. L. 93-638, title II, 
Sec. 202, Jan. 4, 1975, 88 Stat. 2213; amended Pub. L. 103-382, title 
III, Sec. 393(d), Oct. 20, 1994, 108 Stat. 4027.)

                       References in Text

    Section 7814(c)(4) of title 20, referred to in subsec. (a), was in 
the original ``section 9104(c)(4) of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965'', meaning section 9104(c)(4) of Pub. L. 89-10, 
which was translated as reading section 9114(c)(4) of Pub. L. 89-10 to 
reflect the probable intent of Congress, because Pub. L. 89-10 does not 
contain a section 9104, but it does contain a section 9114 which in 
subsec. (c)(4) relates to committees of parents of Indian children.
