included in ''employee''. The words ''Executive agency'' are

coextensive with and substituted for ''executive departments or

independent establishments, including any agency the majority of

the stock of which is owned by the Government of the United

States'' because of the definition of ''Executive agency'' in

section 105. The words ''or the Secretary of a military department

the National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578), the

National Security Act Amendments of 1949 established the Department

of Defense as an Executive Department including the Department of

the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air

Force as military departments, not as Executive departments.

However, the source law for this section, which was in effect in

1949, remained applicable to the Secretaries of the military

departments by virtue of section 12(g) of the National Security Act

Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 591), which is set out in the

In subsection (c), the word ''Constitution'' is omitted because

''laws'', as used in this title, encompasses the Constitution. In

subsection (c)(1), the words ''of the United States'' are omitted

authorized by local law to administer oaths in the State, District,

administered'' are coextensive with and substituted for ''notaries

public duly appointed in any State, District, or Territory of the

any such State, District, or Territory, by the deputies of such

clerks and prothonotaries, and by all magistrates authorized by the

probation''. The words ''rejection . . . after probation'' refer

to a rejection, i.e., separation, after a portion of the

probationary period has been served but before the end of the

probationary period. This is so because an individual can be

rejected only during the probationary period. After he has

completed the probationary period, he can be removed only under

removals of this nature are covered by paragraph (E).

The words ''or military department'' are inserted to preserve the

application of the source law. Before enactment of the National

of section 12(g) of the National Security Act Amendments of 1949
