    In subsection (b), the words ``of States'' and ``of cities'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``governmental entities'' are 
substituted for ``instrumentalities of government'' for consistency in 
the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. The 
words ``as well as leaders of industry, educational and religious 
groups, labor, veterans, women, farm, scientific and professional, and 
all other'' are omitted as unnecessary.
