Page 219 TITLE 33—NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS § 702d ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 641. Section 1 of act Aug. 10, 1956, en- acted ‘‘Title 10, Armed Forces’’ which in sections 3010 to 3013 continued Department of the Army under ad- ministrative supervision of Secretary of the Army. APPLICATION OF 1950 INCREASE IN AUTHORIZATION CON- TAINED IN SUBSEC. (c) TO OLD AND ATCHAFALAYA RIVERS PROJECT Section 203 of act Sept. 3, 1954, ch. 1264, title II, 68 Stat. 1258, in addition to authorizing an amount of $32,000,000 for control of the Old and Atchafalaya Rivers and a lock for navigation, provided in part that the $15,000,000 increase in authorization by act May 17, 1950 in amending subsec. (c) of this section (see 1950 Amend- ment note above), should be applied to such project. § 702b.
