Historical and Revision Notes
It is believed that the authority contained in this section will
greatly benefit the Government in providing better trained personnel. A
similar provision was enacted for personnel of the Navy in 1946 (see
title 5, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 421c). 81st Congress, House Report No.
