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

    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``appropriated amounts'' are 
substituted for ``appropriations'' for clarity. In clause (3), the word 
``make'' is substituted for ``create'' as being more precise. The text 
of 31:665(d)(2)(5th sentence) is omitted as unnecessary because of 
section 102 of the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the word ``amounts'' is substituted for ``funds'' 
for consistency in the revised title. In clause (1)(B), the words ``(7 
U.S.C. 612c)'' are substituted for ``section 612(c) of title 7'' to 
correct an error in section 3679(d)(2)(6th sentence) of the Revised 
Statutes. Clause (2) is substituted for the source provisions for 
consistency in the revised title.
