HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Derivation U.S. Code Revised Statutes and
Statutes at Large
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5 U.S.C. 2331. Aug. 28, 1958, Pub. L.
85-795, Sec. 2, 72 Stat.
959.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In paragraphs (1)(A) and (B), the terms "Executive agency" and
"military department" are coextensive with and substituted for "any
department or agency in the executive branch of the United States
Government including independent establishments and Government
owned or controlled corporations" in view of the definitions in
sections 105 and 102.
In paragraph (2), the word "employee" is substituted for "any
civilian appointive officer or employee" in view of the definition
of "employee" in section 2105. The words "in or under an agency"
are substituted for "in or under the executive or the legislative
branch of the United States Government".
The definition of "Congressional employee" in former section
2331(4) is omitted as unnecessary because the term "Congressional
employee", defined for the purpose of this title in section 2107,
is coextensive with the definition in former section 2331(4).
The definition of "Detail" in former section 2331(6) is omitted
from this section as inappropriate but is carried into section
3343.
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions
applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface
to the report.

AMENDMENTS
1975 - Subsec. (5)(A). Pub. L. 94-183 substituted "3582(b)" for
"3582(a)".
1969 - Par. (5). Pub. L. 91-175 substituted "the first 5
consecutive years, or any extension thereof, after entering the
employ of the international organization" for "the first 3
consecutive years after entering the employ of the international
organization".

-TRANS-
