Codification
The content of Pub. L. 93-516, including provisions of section 206
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. 206, Nov.
21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2-13, in exactly the same manner as it was enacted by
Pub. L. 93-516.
Prior Provisions
A prior section 8 of act June 20, 1936, which was classified to
section 107f of this title, was renumbered section 10 by Pub. L. 93-516,
Sec. 206.
