In subsection (a), the definition of the term "Department", in
37:361, is omitted as unnecessary, since the particular departments
referred to are spelled out in the revised text. The definition of
the term "uniformed services", in 37:361, is omitted as covered by
the word "member" in this revised section. Clauses (1)-(6) are
substituted for the last 5 clauses of 37:362. The words
"regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary concerned" are
substituted for the words "regulations of the Department
concerned", since the "Department", as such, cannot issue
regulations.
In subsection (a)(2), the words "Surviving spouse" are
substituted for the words "widow or widower". As defined in section
101(18) of this title, "spouse" includes a widower.
In subsection (b), the words "are subject to" are substituted for
the words "shall be made under".
In subsection (c), the word "Under" is substituted for the words
"Subject to". The words "rules and" are omitted as surplusage.
