    The words ``An employee as defined by section 2105 of this title'' 
are coextensive with and substituted for ``Employees of the United 
States Government, . . . (including employees of any corporation created 
under authority of an Act of Congress which is either wholly controlled 
or wholly owned by the United States Government, or any corporation, all 
the stock of which is owned or controlled by the United States 
Government, or any department, agency, or establishment thereof, whether 
or not the employees thereof are paid from funds appropriated by 
Congress)''.
    The words ``subsequent to May 1, 1940'' are omitted as obsolete. The 
words ``active duty in the armed forces'' and ``active duty'' are 
substituted for ``active military or naval service in the land or naval 
forces of the United States'' and ``active military or naval service'', 
respectively, on authority of the National Security Act of 1947, 61 
Stat. 495, as amended. The words ``by voluntary enlistment or 
otherwise'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In paragraph (1), the words ``in accordance with section 5551 of

carried into section 5551.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable
