    In subsection (a), the words ``Subject to limitations applicable 
with respect to each appropriation concerned'' are omitted as surplus. 
The words ``or any bureau or office thereof'' are omitted as being 
included in ``agency''. The words ``to pay costs'' are substituted for 
``for the purpose of financing the procurement of materials and 
services, or financing other costs'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b), the words ``amounts paid under this section'' are 
substituted for ``such expenses so financed'', and the words 
``appropriations charged under subsection (a) of this section'' are 
substituted for ``financing appropriation'', for clarity.
