    In this section, the word ``individuals'' is substituted for 
``persons'' for consistency in the revised title and with other titles 
of the United States Code.
    In clause (1), the words ``further'' and ``those'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.
    In clause (2), the words ``described in clause (1) of this section'' 
are substituted for ``those . . . who have been such members'' for 
clarity.
