Amendments
2002--Pub. L. 89-671, Sec. 14(c), as added by Pub. L. 107-219, which
provided that any reference to ``Wolf Trap Farm Park'' shall be
considered to be a reference to ``Wolf Trap National Park for the
Performing Arts'', was executed by substituting ``Wolf Trap National
Park for the Performing Arts'' for ``Wolf Trap Farm Park for the
Performing Arts'' in concluding provisions to reflect the probable
intent of Congress.
