    The words ``the Act of January 12, 1983 (Public Law 97-449, 96 Stat. 
2413), and the Act enacting this section'' are added for clarity. The 
words ``department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States 
Government'' are substituted for ``Federal department or agency'', and 
the words ``officer or employee'' are substituted for ``official'', for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United 
States Code.
