    In subsection (a), the provision for the National Matches to be held 
as prescribed by ``the Secretary of the Army'' is retained 
notwithstanding section 1612(d) of The National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106, 110 Stat. 517) which 
transferred the Civilian Marksmanship Program, including the National 
Matches, from the Secretary of the Army to the corporation. The 
conforming amendments in section 1624 of the Act (110 Stat. 522) did not 
repeal the authority of the Secretary of the Army to prescribe National 
Matches under 10:4312 or to prescribe subsistence and travel allowances 
for competitors under 10:4313.
