-------------------------------

In subsection (a), the words ''at his discretion'' and ''as may

substituted for the word ''issue'' to reflect the intent of the

section. 50:62a (1st 13 words of proviso) is omitted as

inserted for clarity.

In subsection (b), the words ''to the United States'' are omitted

as surplusage. The words ''except property properly expended'' are

inserted for clarity.

The words ''subject to such regulations as he may prescribe'' are

omitted, since the Secretary has inherent authority to issue

regulations appropriate to exercising his statutory functions. The

words ''to any of the 'National Homes for Disabled Volunteer

Soldiers' already established or hereafter established and'', in

the Act of February 8, 1889, ch. 116, 25 Stat. 657, are not

contained in 50:66 (1st sentence). They are also omitted from the

revised section, since the National Homes for Disabled Volunteer

Soldiers were dissolved by the Act of July 3, 1930, ch. 863, 46

Stat. 1016. The Acts of March 3, 1899, ch. 643 (1st proviso under

(1st proviso under ''Ordnance Department''), 31 Stat. 216, as

amended, relating to disposal of ordnance to ''Homes for Disabled

Volunteer Soldiers'' by the Chief of Ordnance, became inoperative

when the Homes were dissolved. Although section 402(e) of the Army

Organization Act of 1950, ch. 383, 64 Stat. 273, amended the Act of

May 26, 1900, it did not have the effect of reviving that act. The

word ''give'' is substituted for the word ''deliver'' to express

more clearly the intent of the section. The words ''serviceable''

and ''as may be on hand undisposed of'' are omitted as surplusage.

The word ''may'' is substituted for the words ''is authorized and

alternative method for the disposal of obsolete cannon.
