## Notes
Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 850441:48.June 25, 1938, ch. 697, § 3, 52 Stat. 1196; Pub. L. 9228, § 1, June 23, 1971, 85 Stat. 80. In subsection (a), the words “referred to in section 8503 of this title” are added for clarity because of the restatement of 41:47(a) in section 8503(a) of the revised title. In subsection (b), the words “for procurement” are omitted as unnecessary.
