Notes
Historical and Revision Notes 1956 Act Revised sectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 9353(a) 9353(b)10:486a (less last sentence).10:506c(f) (1st sentence, less last 43 words).May 25, 1933, ch. 37 (less last sentence); restated Aug. 9, 1946, ch. 932 (less last sentence); restated Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, § 13; restated Aug. 18, 1949, ch. 476 (less last sentence), 63 Stat. 615. Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 512, § 506(f) (1st sentence, less last 43 words), 61 Stat. 892. In subsection (a), the last 27 words are substituted for 10:486a (last sentence). The words “rules and” and “from and after the date of the accrediting of said Academy” are omitted as surplusage. The word “conditions” is substituted for the word “regulations”. In subsection (b), the words “except section 541 of this title” are inserted to reflect the authority to appoint graduates of one service academy as officers of another service.
1958 Act Revised sectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 9353(b)10 App.:1850c(e) (1st sentence).July 20, 1956, ch. 646, § 203(e) (1st sentence), 70 Stat. 585. It is unnecessary to include a reference to section 541 of title 10, since that section does not derogate from the authority granted in this section. The change reflects the opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force (July 19, 1957) that the words “from and after the date of the accrediting of said academies” in the source law for section 9353(a) (Act of May 25, 1933, ch. 37 (48 Stat. 73), as amended) were a condition precedent to the authority to grant degrees and should not have been omitted.
