    In the section, before clause (1), the words ``or an officer, 
employee, or agent designated by the Secretary'' are substituted for 
``and for that purpose to appoint special agents, as occasion may 
require'' for clarity and consistency. The words ``may audit a 
depositary of public money'' are substituted for ``is authorized to 
cause examinations to be made of the books, accounts and money on hand, 
of the several depositaries'' to eliminate unnecessary words and for 
consistency. The words ``with such compensation, not exceeding $6 per 
day and traveling expenses, as he may think reasonable, to be fixed and 
declared at the time of each appointment'' are omitted as superseded by 
5:3109 and ch. 57. The words ``be instructed to'' and ``as well'' are 
omitted as surplus.
