                                                    85-507, Sec.  3, 72

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

    In paragraph (1), the word ``agency'' is substituted for 
``department''. Reference to the ``General Accounting Office'' is 
omitted as included in ``independent establishment'' because of the 
definition in section 104.
    In paragraph (2)(B), the words ``in the Department of Commerce'' are 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In paragraph (6)(C), the word ``agency'' is omitted as unnecessary 
and to avoid confusion with the word ``agency'' defined by paragraph 
(1).
    In paragraph (6)(E), the words ``individuals other than civilian or 
military personnel of the Government'' are substituted for ``an 
individual not a civilian or military officer or employee of the 
Government of the United States or of the municipal government of the 
District of Columbia'' to conform to paragraph (5).
    The definition of ``Commission'' in former section 2302(4) is 
omitted as unnecessary as the title ``Civil Service Commission'' is 
fully set out the first time it is used in each section of this chapter.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.


                               Amendments

of official duties for the Government, in order to increase the 
knowledge, proficiency, ability, skill, and qualifications of the 
employee in the performance of official duties;''.
    1982--Par. (1)(C). Pub. L. 97-258 substituted ``chapter 91'' for
