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

    In this section, the text of 36:925 is omitted as executed and 
obsolete.
    In clause (1), the word ``alter'' is omitted as included in 
``amend''. The words ``not inconsistent with the laws of the United 
States'' and ``said constitution and bylaws should likewise not be 
inconsistent with the laws of any State in which the corporation is to 
operate'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In clause (2), the word ``use'' is omitted as unnecessary.
    In clause (3), the words ``make contracts'' are substituted for 
``contract and be contracted with'' for consistency in the revised 
title.
    Clause (4) is substituted for ``to take by lease, gift, purchase, 
grant, devise, or bequest from any private corporation, association, 
partnership, firm, or individual, and to hold any property, real, 
personal, or mixed, necessary or convenient for attaining the objects 
and carrying into effect the purposes of the corporation'' and ``to 
transfer, convey, lease, sublease, encumber, and otherwise alienate 
real, personal, or mixed property'' for consistency in the revised title 
and to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``subject, however, to 
applicable provisions of law of any State (A) governing the amount or 
kind of property which may be held by, or (B) otherwise limiting or 
controlling the ownership of property by, a corporation operating in 
such State'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In clause (5), the words ``for the purposes of the corporation'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``issue instruments of indebtedness, 
and secure its obligations by granting security interests in its 
property'' are substituted for ``issue bonds therefor, and secure the 
same by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, or otherwise'' for consistency 
in the revised title. The words ``subject in every case to all 
applicable provisions of Federal and State laws'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.
    In clause (6), the words ``complain and defend in any court of 
competent jurisdiction'' are omitted as unnecessary.
