    In the section, the words ``international affairs duties and 
powers'' are substituted for ``international affairs functions'' for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United 
States Code. The words ``officers and employees'' are substituted for 
``personnel'' and ``employees'' as being more precise.
    In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words ``fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1982'' are substituted for ``fiscal year 1982'' for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code. In 
clause (2), the word ``pay'' is substituted for ``salaries'' for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code. The 
word ``departmental'' is substituted for ``agency'' because of the 
source provisions restated in section 321 of the revised title. The 
words ``those pay increases'' are substituted for ``thereto'' for 
clarity.
    Subsection (c) is substituted for the words ``and such sums as may 
be necessary for each fiscal year thereafter'' both times they appear.
