5 U.S.C. 16.             R.S. Sec. 1757.

2, 3, 23 Stat. 22.         
--------------------------------------------------------------------
All but the quoted language in R.S. Sec. 1757 is omitted as
obsolete since R.S. Sec. 1757 was originally an alternative oath to
the oath prescribed in R.S. Sec. 1756 which oath was repealed by
the Act of May 13, 1884, ch. 46, Sec. 2, 23 Stat. 22. The words "An
individual, except the President, . . . in the civil service or
uniformed services" are substituted for "any person . . . either in
the civil, military, or naval service, except the President of the
United States". The second sentence of former section 16 is changed
to read, "This section does not affect other oaths required by
law.".
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions
applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface
to the report.
