    In clause (1), the word ``rules'' is omitted as being the same as 
``regulations''.
    In clause (2), the words ``at pleasure'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In clause (3), the words ``and transaction'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The word ``activities'' is substituted for ``business'' for 
consistency in the revised title.
    Clause (6) is substituted for ``acquire, by purchase, devise, 
bequest, gift, or otherwise, and hold, encumber, convey, or otherwise 
dispose of, such real and personal property as may be necessary or 
appropriate for its corporate purposes'' for consistency in the revised 
title and to eliminate unnecessary words. The text of 36:315 is omitted 
as executed and obsolete.
    In clause (8), the words ``and receive contributions of money or 
property to be devoted to the carrying out of the purposes of the 
organization'' are omitted as unnecessary because of clause (6) of the 
revised section.
