    The authority of the President to prescribe rules is added on 
authority of former section 633(1), which is carried into section 3302.
    In paragraph (1), the word ``authority'' is substituted for 
``power''. The words ``or employment'' are omitted as included within 
``appointment''.
    In paragraph (1)(B), the words ``separation during probation'' are 
substituted for ``of the rejection of any such person after probation''. 
The words ``rejection . . . after probation'' refer to a rejection, 
i.e., separation, after a portion of the probationary period has been 
served but before the end of the probationary period. This is so because 
an individual can be rejected only during the probationary period. After 
he has completed the probationary period, he can be removed only under 
procedures governing removals from the competitive service, and removals 
of this nature are covered by paragraph (E).
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.

Personnel Management'' for ``Civil Service Commission'' in section 
catchline.
    Pars. (1), (2). Pub. L. 95-454 substituted ``Office of Personnel 
Management'' for ``Civil Service Commission'' and ``Office'' for 
``Commission''.
