    The words ``civil officer, draughtsman, copyist, messenger, 
assistant messenger, mechanic, watchman, laborer, or other employee'' 
are omitted as obsolete language and ``individual'' is substituted 
therefor. The words ``in the civil service'' are added to preserve the 
application of former section 46 to civilian employees. The words ``or 
subordinate bureaus or offices thereof'' are omitted as surplusage. The 
words ``and at the rate of pay usual and proper for the services'' are 
omitted as surplusage since all pay rates are governed by statute.
    All after the 75th words of section 4 of the Act of Aug. 5, 1882, as 
amended by section 7(b) of the Act of Sept. 23, 1950, except the 255th 
through 316th words, are omitted as executed. The 255th through 296th 
words are scheduled for repeal as superseded (see Table II-b), and the 
297th through 316th words are codified in section 5501. The Act of Aug. 
15, 1876, ch. 287, Sec. 5, 19 Stat. 169, cited as authority for former 
section 46 was repealed by section 7(a) of the Act of Sept. 23, 1950.
    In the last sentence, the word ``removed'' is substituted for 
``summarily removed'' because of the provisions of the Lloyd-LaFollette 
Act, 37 Stat. 555, as amended, and the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944, 
58 Stat. 387, as amended, which are carried into this title.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
