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

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 (2d 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

''Ordnance Department''), 30 Stat. 1073; and May 26, 1900, ch. 586

(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 of the Army, 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 directed'', since section 9684 of this

title provides an alternative method for the disposal of obsolete

cannon.
