---------------------------------

    In this section, the words ``greater or less'' are omitted as being 
included in ``different''. The words ``foreign air transportation'' are 
substituted for ``air transportation'' because 49 App.:1551(a)(4)(B) 
provides that 49 App.:1373 no longer applies to interstate or overseas 
air transportation and 49 App.:1376(a)-(e), restated in section 41901 of 
the revised title, governs prices for the transportation of mail by 
aircraft. See section 40102(a) of the revised title defining ``air 
transportation'' to mean interstate or foreign air transportation or the 
transportation of mail by aircraft. The words ``for any service in 
connection therewith'' are omitted as surplus because the word 
``transportation'' includes any services related to the transportation.
    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``may not'' are 
substituted for ``no . . . shall'' and ``no . . . shall, in any manner 
or by any device, directly or indirectly, or through any agent or 
broker, or otherwise'' for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary words. 
In clause (1), the words ``demand or collect'' are omitted as being 
included in ``charge or receive''. The words ``then currently'' are 
omitted as surplus. In clause (3), the words ``tariff for foreign air 
transportation'' are substituted for ``such tariffs'' for clarity.
    In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words ``shipper, 
consignor, consignee, forwarder, broker, or other . . . or any director, 
officer, agent, or employee thereof'' are omitted as surplus. In clause 
(1), the words ``directly or indirectly, by any device or means'' and 
``currently'' are omitted as surplus. In clause (2), before subclause 
(A), the words ``in any manner or by any device, directly or indirectly, 
through any agent or broker, or otherwise'' are omitted as surplus. In 
subclause (B), the word ``favor'' is omitted as surplus.
