In subsection (b)(2), the words “the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (49 Stat. 2036)”, which appear in section 7(2) of Public Law 89286 (79 Stat. 1036), are treated as a reference to the Act of June 30, 1936 (ch. 881, 49 Stat. 2036), which was known as the Walsh-Healey Act and which was subsequently designated as the Walsh-Healey Act by section 12 of the Act of June 30, 1936, which was added by section 10005(f)(5) of Public Law 103355 (108 Stat. 3409). In subsection (b)(7), the words “United States Postal Service” are substituted for “Post Office Department” because of sections 4(a) and 6(o) of the Postal Reorganization Act (Public Law 91375, 84 Stat. 773, 783, 39 U.S.C. note prec. 101, 201 note).
