Notes

Historical and Revision Notes Revised SectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 324(a)31:741a(a)(1st sentence words before 9th comma).Apr. 3, 1945, ch. 51, § 5, 59 Stat. 48. 324(b)31:741a(a)(1st sentence words after 9th comma, last sentence). 324(c)31:741a(b). In the section, the words “sell, exchange” are omitted as being included in “dispose”. The word “obligations” is substituted for “bonds, notes, or other securities” for consistency in the revised title. The words “under judicial process or otherwise” are omitted as unnecessary. In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words “Notwithstanding the provisions of section 302 of title 40” are omitted as unnecessary and because section 302 was repealed by section 1(95) of the Act of October 31, 1951 (ch. 654, 65 Stat. 705). In clause (2), the words “those obligations” are substituted for “thereof” for clarity. In subsection (b), the words “The Secretary may dispose or extend the maturity of obligations under subsection (a) of this section” are added for clarity and because of the restatement. The words “combination of cash, obligations, or property” are substituted for “or any combination thereof” for clarity. The words “terms and conditions” are omitted as being included in “on conditions”. The words “under the authority of this section” are omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement. Subsection (c) is substituted for 31:741a(b) to eliminate unnecessary words and for consistency in the revised title.
