consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United
States Code.
In the section, before clause (1), the words ``It is the purpose of
this chapter'' are added for clarity and consistency in the revised
title and with other titles of the Code. The words ``each State which
receives block grant funds under this Act shall comply with the
requirements of this chapter, to the extent that such funds may be used
at the discretion of the State, as described in subsection (b)(1)(B)''
