--------------------------------------------------------------------
In subsection (b), the words "prescribed by subsection (a)" are
substituted for the words "to determine such qualifications for
appointment". The word "designated" is substituted for the word
"appointed", since the filling of the positions involved is not an
appointment to office in the constitutional sense. The words "of an
individual as an officer or warrant officer" are omitted as
surplusage.
In subsection (c), the word "originally" is inserted for clarity.
The words "If such a board finds a person" are substituted for the
words "if the applicant has been found". The words "for individual
Federal recognition for the office for which he was found
qualified" are inserted for clarity. The words "that office" are
substituted for the words "the office for which he was found
qualified".
In subsection (d), the words "Notwithstanding the provisions of
section 113 of Title 32" are omitted as covered by the words of
exception in revised subsection (a). The words "Subject to
subsection (a)(1) and (2)" are inserted, since 50:1115(a) (less
last 39 words) was not an exception to that part of 50:1113
relating to qualifications prescribed by the Secretary, or to the
requirement that only members of federally recognized units can be
federally recognized. The words "in his reserve grade" are
substituted for the words "in the same grade in which he is
appointed as a Reserve officer of the appropriate Armed Force of
the United States". The last sentence is inserted for clarity.

In subsection (e), the words "to subsection (a)(1) and (2)" are
inserted, since 50:1349(b) was not an exception to that part of
50:1113 relating to qualifications prescribed by the Secretary, or
to the requirement that only members of federally recognized units
can be federally recognized. The words "without the examination
