The words "the United States, except in Hawaii or Alaska," are
substituted for the words "the continental United States" to
conform to the definition of United States in section 101(1) of
this revised title and to reflect the opinion of the Comptroller
General in B-139624, June 29, 1959, that Alaska was not included
within those words. The words "an agent of the United States" are
substituted for the words "the Government", for clarity. The words
"United States" are substituted for the word "Government". The
words "of the uniformed services" are omitted as surplusage in view
of the definition of member in section 101(23) of this revised
title.
