Sec. 5513. Withholding pay; credit disallowed or charge raised 
        for payment
        
    When the General Accounting Office, on a statement of the account of 
a disbursing or certifying official of the United States, disallows 
credit or raises a charge for a payment to an individual in or under an 
Executive agency otherwise entitled to pay, the pay of the payee shall 
be withheld in whole or in part until full reimbursement is made under 
regulations prescribed by the head of the Executive agency from which 
the payee is entitled to receive pay. This section does not repeal or 
modify existing statutes relating to the collection of the indebtedness 
of an accountable, certifying, or disbursing official.

    The words ``On and after May 26, 1936'' are omitted as executed. The 
word ``official'' is substituted for ``officer'' and ``officers'' as the 
definition of ``officer'' in section 2104 excludes a member of a 
uniformed service. The words ``from the United States or from an agency 
or instrumentality thereof'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
