Historical and Revision Notes
Derived from title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 885, and title 14,
U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 3a (May 22, 1928, ch. 688, 45 Stat. 712; Oct. 26,
1942, ch. 623, 56 Stat. 987).
Said section 885 was made applicable to the Coast Guard by title 14,
U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 3a whenever the Coast Guard is operating with the
Navy. Experience has shown the advantage of having such a provision
applicable to the Coast Guard at all times.
Said section would in no way be affected. 81st Congress, House
Report No. 557.
Amendments
1984--Pub. L. 98-557 substituted reference to members for reference
to officers and men.
