2 As authorized in the Act, except where noted.

Since the 85th Cong., each public law has carried a prefix which is the number of the Congress in which it was enacted. Thus, P.L. 85-480 is Public Law 480 of the 85th Cong. For convenience, the references to public laws contained herein have been conformed to this new practice. The dates cited herein are the dates of Presidential approval of the Act, and are not necessarily the dates of effectiveness of specific provisions of law. The parenthetical citations are to the United States Statutes at Large. "C. Rept." refers to conference reports which until the 92d Congress were printed as House reports.
