Historical and Revision Notes
Derived from the title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 909 (June 5, 1942,
ch. 327, 56 Stat. 308).
Said section is applicable to Navy personnel only. Experience has
shown that similar authority should be granted to the Coast Guard; it
will operate to the benefit of Navy personnel stopping over at Coast
Guard air stations as well as to the benefit of Coast Guard personnel
stopping over at Naval air stations.
The language of said section is closely paralleled.
Said section would in no way be affected. 81st Congress, House
Report No. 557.
Amendments
