and 1993 (Public Law 102–190, 105 Stat. 1483) is omitted
as executed.
PUB. L. 105–354
This amends section 902 of title 36 to reflect changes
made by section 1082 of the National Defense Author-
ization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105–85, Nov.
18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1917, 36 App. U.S.C. 189a).
Section 1082(g) of that Act, which defined ‘‘POW/MIA
flag’’ as used in section 1082 by reference to section 2 of
Public Law 101–355, is unnecessary because the two pro-
visions are restated together in section 902 of title 36.
Section 1082(h), which required that regulations be
prescribed no later than 180 days after enactment of
Public law 105–85, is repealed as executed.
Section 1082(i), which required that the Adminis-
trator of GSA procure and distribute POW/MIA flags no
later than 30 days after enactment of Public Law
105–85, is repealed as executed.
Section 1082(j), which repealed section 1084 of Public
Law 102–190 (previously restated as subsections (b) and
(c) of section 902 of title 36), is repealed as executed.
