(Aug. 31, 1954, ch. 1158, 68 Stat. 1014; Pub. L. 86-769, Sec. 1, Sept.
13, 1960, 74 Stat. 911.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Secs. 5, 6 (Mar. 6, 1902, ch.
139, Secs. 5, 10, 32 Stat. 51, 53; June 18, 1929, ch. 28, Sec. 21, 46
Stat. 26).
Section consolidates section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., with
section 6 of such title.
A reference to ``officers'' was inserted for completeness, and the
word ``permanent'' was inserted before ``officers and employees'' for
the purpose of clarity.
The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., excepting
unskilled laborers from the requirements for citizenship, was omitted as
superseded and covered by the Classification Act of 1949 (5 U.S.C., 1952
ed., ch. 21).
The provision that appointments and compensation shall be subject to
the Classification Act of 1949 is new but is in accordance with existing
law. See chapter 21 of title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive Departments
and Government Officers and Employees.
The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., giving
preference in appointments to war veterans and their widows, was omitted
as superseded and covered by the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944
(chapter 17 of Title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive Departments and
Government Officers and Employees).
Changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments
1960--Pub. L. 86-769 struck out references to appointment and
compensation under the Civil Service laws and the Classification Act of
1949.
