    In subsection (a), the words ``From August 13, 1953, until the final 
session of the next following annual conference . . . shall be the 
persons named in section 431 of this title and such additional persons 
as shall be named by them. Thereafter'' are omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (b), the words ``one vote to each such agency and to 
each such organization'' are omitted because section 150703(b) of the 
revised title already states that each of those agencies and 
organizations has one vote.
    In subsection (c), the words ``hold an annual meeting'' are 
substituted for ``meet at least once each year'' for consistency in the 
revised title.
    In subsection (d), the words ``and exercise'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.
    In subsection (e), the words ``who shall have the qualifications and 
terms of employment decided'' are substituted for ``in keeping with 
qualifications and terms of employment adopted'' for clarity and 
consistency.
