    The words ``In order'' are omitted as surplus. The words ``United 
States Government'' are substituted for ``Congress'' for clarity and 
consistency in the revised title. The words ``Therefore, the Secretary

applicable to all used motor vehicles'' are substituted for 
15:1397(b)(1) (4th sentence) to eliminate unnecessary and executed 
words. The text of 15:1397(b)(1) (last sentence) is omitted as 
unnecessary because of 5:ch. 5, subch. II. The text of 15:1397(b)(1) (3d
