    In this section, the words ``foreign air transportation'' are 
substituted for ``transportation'' and ``in the case of overseas or 
foreign 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 rates 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 word ``conditions'' is omitted 
as being included in ``terms''.
    In subsection (a)(7), the words ``or other emergency'' are 
substituted for ``other calamitous visitation'' for consistency.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``no longer gainfully employed'' are 
substituted for ``retired'' and ``For purposes of this subsection, the 
term `retired' means no longer gainfully employed as defined by the 
Board'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b)(4), the words ``an individual who has severely 
impaired vision or hearing or another physical or mental handicap'' are 
substituted for ``handicapped person'' and ``For the purposes of this 
subsection, the term `handicapped person' means any person who has 
severely impaired vision or hearing, and any other physically or 
mentally handicapped person, as defined by the Board'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
