                      Historical and Revision Notes

                                                    Revised Statutes and
     Derivation                U.S. Code             Statutes at Large

                     5 U.S.C. 794 (less 1st        July 11, 1919, ch. 7,
                      sentence).                    Sec.  11 (less 1st
                                                    sentence), 41 Stat.

    The words ``Compensation awarded'' are substituted for ``Such 
compensation as the Secretary may award''.
    The last sentence of former section 794, requiring that the 
Commissioners of the District of Columbia submit to Congress through the 
Bureau of the Budget estimates of appropriations, is omitted as 
obsolete. The Budget and Accounting Act, 1921, as amended, 31 U.S.C. 2 
et seq., prescribes the procedures for presenting all budget estimates 
for the government of the District of Columbia and provides that the 
budget submission to Congress be made by the President.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
