HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

1956 ACT

The Act of July 26, 1947, ch. 343, as amended (5 U.S.C. 411a(a))

which is the National Security Act of 1947, defined ''Department of

the Navy''. The Acts of Mar. 5, 1948, ch. 98 (5 U.S.C. 423a(a)),

and Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 756 (5 U.S.C. 421g) defined ''Naval

Establishment''. The terms ''Department of the Navy'' and ''Naval

Establishment'' are considered to be synonymous. All three

definitions were considered, but the phraseology adopted is that of

the National Security Act of 1947. The phrase ''as a service in the

Navy'' is substituted for ''as a part of the Navy'' to conform to

the provisions of title 14.
