Codification
Provisions that authorized the employment of such experts and other
officers and employees as are necessary to carry out this subchapter
``without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended'', were
omitted as obsolete. Sections 1202 and 1204 of the Classification Act of
1949, 63 Stat. 972, 973, repealed the 1923 Act and all laws or parts of
laws inconsistent with the 1949 Act. While section 1106(a) of the 1949
Act provided that references in other laws to the 1923 Act should be
held and considered to mean the 1949 Act, it did not have the effect of
continuing the exception contained in this section because of section
1106(b) which provided that the application of the 1949 Act to any
position, officer, or employee shall not be affected by section 1106(a).
The Classification Act of 1949 was repealed by Pub. L. 89-554, Sept. 6,
1966, Sec. 8(a), 80 Stat. 632 (the first section of which enacted Title
5, Government Organization and Employees, into law). Section 5102 of
Title 5 contains the applicability provisions of the 1949 Act, and
section 5103 of Title 5 authorized the Office of Personnel Management to
determine the applicability to specific positions and employees.
