    In subsection (a), the word ``individual'' is substituted for 
``person'' for clarity and consistency in the revised title and with 
other titles of the United States Code. The words ``served in'' are 
substituted for ``was enlisted, drafted, inducted, or commissioned in'' 
to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``from time to time'' are 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b), the word ``qualification'' is omitted as included 
in ``eligibility''. The words ``All persons who are members of any class 
of Blinded Veterans Association, Incorporated, on August 27, 1958 shall 
be members of such class of the corporation'' are omitted as executed.
