The words “There shall be in the Department of Justice” are omitted as unnecessary as the title of the positions establishes their location in the Department of Justice.

Plan No. 2, 1953 Reorg. Plan No. 4, and the Act of Sept. 9, 1957. The words “learned in the law” are omitted as unnecessary.

The reference in former section 295 of title 5 to the Assistant Attorneys General assisting the Solicitor General are omitted on authority of the transfer of functions made by 1950 Reorg.
