Codification
The content of Pub. L. 93-516, including provisions of sections 206
and 208(d) thereof which amended and renumbered this section, were
originally contained in H.R. 14225, 93rd Congress, Second Session, which
was pocket-vetoed during the 31-day intrasession adjournment of the 93rd
Congress for the Congressional elections in November, 1974. See 1974
Amendment note below.
Pursuant to an order of the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia (Kennedy v. Jones, D.C.D.C. 1976, 412 F.Supp. 353)
H.R. 14225 was deemed to have become law without the approval of the
President on Nov. 21, 1974, and was given the designation Pub. L. 93-
651. Therefore, for purposes of codification, this section should be
deemed to have been amended and renumbered by Pub. L. 93-651, title II,
Secs. 206, 208(d), Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2-11, 2-14, in exactly the
same manner as it was amended and renumbered by Pub. L. 93-516.
Amendments
1974--Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 93-516, Sec. 208(d), struck out
requirement that at least 50 percent of the additional personnel be
blind persons. An identical amendment was made by Pub. L. 93-651. See
Codification note above.
Transfer of Functions
For transfer of functions, see note set out under section 107a of
this title.
