The words ``agency (except a mixed-ownership Government
corporation)'' are substituted for 31:1201(c)(words before last comma)
and ``agency of the Federal Government'' because of section 101 of the
revised title and for consistency. The words ``member of the uniformed
services or an officer or employee of the United States Government'' are
substituted for ``civilian employees or military personnel'' for
consistency with other titles of the United States Code. The words ``in
carrying out official duties'' are substituted for ``in connection with
the performance of their official duties'' to eliminate unnecessary
words and because of the restatement. The words ``to the Federal
Government'' are omitted as surplus. The words ``member, officer, or
employee'' are substituted for ``employees and personnel'' because of
the restatement.
