    In subsection (a), the word ``budget'' is substituted for ``budget 
program'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``to the President'' 
are added because of chapter 11 of the revised title.
    In subsection (b)(1), before clause (A), the words ``Secretary shall 
maintain'' are substituted for ``There shall be installed and 
maintained'' because of sections 301 and 303 of the revised title and to 
eliminate executed words. The words ``internal controls'' are 
substituted for ``including proper features of internal control'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (B), the word ``costs'' is 
substituted for ``direct and indirect costs'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words. In clause (D), the word ``basis'' is substituted for ``method'' 
for clarity. In clause (E), the words ``provides information'' are 
substituted for ``supply on the basis of accounting results the data'' 
to eliminate unnecessary words. The word ``prior'' is substituted for 
``last completed'' for consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (c), the words ``An officer or employee'' are 
substituted for ``employees'' for consistency in the revised title and 
with other titles of the United States Code. The words ``assigned to an 
established shift or tour of duty at least half of which occurs between 
the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.'' are substituted for ``assigned to 
perform their work at night'' and 31:180(proviso) to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
