References in Text
This title, referred to in text, is title II of Pub. L. 93-516, Dec.
7, 1974, 88 Stat. 1617, as amended, known as the ``Randolph-Sheppard Act
Amendments of 1974''. For complete classification of such title to the
Code, see Short Title of 1974 Amendment note set out under section 107
of this title and Tables.
Codification
Section was enacted as part of the Randolph-Sheppard Act Amendments
of 1974, and not as part of the Randolph-Sheppard Vending Stand Act
which comprises this chapter.
The content of Pub. L. 93-516, including provisions of section 209
thereof which enacted 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.
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 enacted by Pub. L. 93-651, title II, Sec. 209, Nov.
21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2-15, in exactly the same manner as it was enacted by
Pub. L. 93-516.
