L. 104201, title X, § 1073(c)(3), 110 Stat. 2657. 40706(b)(1)36:5509(a)(2). 40706(b)(2)36:5509(b). 40706(c)36:5509(a)(3). In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words “title to the following items, and the right to possess the items, vest in the Secretary of the Army” are substituted for “title to [specified items] . . . shall vest in the Secretary of the Army, and the Secretary shall have the immediate right to the possession of such items” to eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (2), the words “M16 rifles under control of the corporation” are substituted for “M16 rifles that are transferred to the Corporation under section 1615(a)(2), that are referred to in section 1616(a)(3), or that are otherwise under the control of the Corporation” to eliminate unnecessary words. In subsection (b), paragraph (2) is applied only to subsection (b) because the prohibition is not relevant to 36:5509(a)(1) or (3).
