                       References in Text

    The Public Buildings Act of May 25, 1926, referred to in par. (1), 
is act May 25, 1926, ch. 380, 44 Stat. 630, as amended, which enacted 
sections 341, 342, 343 to 345a, 346, and 347 of this title, which were 
repealed or eliminated by Pub. L. 86-249 which enacted this chapter.
    Title I of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act, 1959, referred 
to in pars. (1) and (2), is title I of Pub. L. 85-844, Aug. 28, 1958, 72 
Stat. 1063. The fourth through eighth paragraphs under the heading 
``General Services Administration'', which appear at 72 Stat. 1067, are 
not classified to the Code, except for the first proviso of the fifth 
paragraph which is set out as a note under section 356 of this title.
    Section 1252 of title 8, referred to in par. (4), was amended 
generally by Pub. L. 104-208, div. C, title III, Sec. 306(a)(2), Sept. 
30, 1996, 110 Stat. 3009-607, and, as so amended, subsec. (c) relates to 
requirements for petitions for review or for habeas corpus and not to 
public buildings. Provisions similar to those contained in former 
section 1252(c) are now contained in section 1231(g) of Title 8, Aliens 
and Nationality.
