61 Stat. 423.

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

Before the enactment of the National Security Act of 1947, the

transport functions covered by this section were performed only by

the Army. Under section 2(a)(3) of the National Security Act (as it

existed before August 10, 1949), the sea and air transportation

functions of the Army, Navy, and Air Force were respectively

consolidated into the ''Military Sea Transportation Service'',

under the Department of the Navy, and the ''Military Air Transport

Service'', under the Department of the Air Force. Instead of having

space on its own transport vessels and airplanes, the Army is now

allotted bulk space on vessels and airplanes operated by those

transport services. The words ''or, within bulk space allocations

made to the Department of the Army, on vessels or airplanes

operated by any military transport agency of the Department of

Defense'' are inserted, in accordance with an opinion of the Judge

Advocate General of the Army (JAGA 1953/5885, 22 July 1953), to

make clear that the rule applicable to Army vessels and airplanes

applies to the bulk space allocated to the Army. Since the

authority to perform transportation functions could again be

transferred as between the military departments, the reference to

''vessels or airplanes of Army transport agencies'' is retained.

The word ''considers'' is substituted for the words ''in the

opinion of''. The words ''Persons residing in Alaska who are and

have been employed there by the United States'' are substituted for

the words ''employees of the United States, residing in Alaska, who

have been in such employment''. The word ''commercial'' is

substituted for the word ''civil'' for clarity. The words ''from

and after November 21, 1941'', ''and the carriage of all such air

traffic shall be terminated'', ''dire'', ''the privilege herein

granted'', and ''as to each eligible individual'' are omitted as

surplusage. The words ''the continental'' are omitted, since

section 101(1) of this title defines the United States as ''the

States and the District of Columbia''.
