For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 4151 of Title 42 and Tables. Section 794 of title 29, referred to in subsec. (d)(1), was in the original a reference to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and was translated as meaning section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Pub. L. 93112, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
