TITLE 14—COAST GUARD
§ 2745
of the United States, or was from a vessel owned or op-
erated by the United States regardless of where the res-
cue took place; and if the rescue took place within wa-
ters of the United States the award could be made to
an alien.
The existing law relating to the Treasury Depart-
ment Life-Saving Medal contained in title 14, U.S.C.,
1946, ed., §§ 192–196, has long needed revision. The exist-
ing law is composed of a series of statutes enacted sepa-
rately between 1874 and 1897, and the result has not
been entirely unsatisfactory. The original statute, en-
acted in 1874 (title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 193), provided
for Life-saving medals of the first and second class to
be bestowed ‘‘upon any persons who shall hereafter en-
danger their own lives in saving, or endeavoring to save
lives from the perils of the sea, within the United
States, or upon any American vessel’’. The medal of the
first class was confined to cases of ‘‘extreme and heroic
daring’’ and the medal of the second class was to be
awarded ‘‘in cases not sufficiently distinguished to de-
serve the medal of the first class’’ Then in 1878 another
act was passed (title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 194) author-
izing the bestowal of the medal of the second class
‘‘upon persons making such signal exertions in rescuing
and succoring the shipwrecked, and saving persons
from drowning’’ as, in the opinion of the Secretary of
the Treasury, merited recognition. These two sections
were construed by the Attorney General to be limited
to the rescue of persons who were subjected to the per-
ils of the sea in any waters of the United States in the
vicinity of any lifeboat station, life-saving station, or
house of refuge. And the person upon whom the medal
could be bestow
