    In this section, the provisions for a junior competitor to be paid a 
subsistence allowance and a travel allowance prescribed by ``the 
Secretary of the Army'' are 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.
