TITLE 13—CENSUS
§ 23
(Aug. 31, 1954, ch. 1158, 68 Stat. 1014; Pub. L.
86–769, § 1, Sept. 13, 1960, 74 Stat. 911.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., §§ 5, 6 (Mar. 6, 1902,
ch. 139, §§ 5, 10, 32 Stat. 51, 53; June 18, 1929, ch. 28, § 21,
46 Stat. 26).
Section consolidates section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952
ed., with section 6 of such title.
A reference to ‘‘officers’’ was inserted for complete-
ness, and the word ‘‘permanent’’ was inserted before
‘‘officers and employees’’ for the purpose of clarity.
The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,
excepting unskilled laborers from the requirements for
citizenship, was omitted as superseded and covered by
the Classification Act of 1949 (5 U.S.C., 1952 ed., ch. 21).
The provision that appointments and compensation
shall be subject to the Classification Act of 1949 is new
but is in accordance with existing law. See chapter 21
of title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive Departments and
Government Officers and Employees.
The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,
giving preference in appointments to war veterans and
their widows, was omitted as superseded and covered by
the Veterans’ Preference Act of 1944 (chapter 17 of Title
5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive Departments and Govern-
ment Officers and Employees).
Changes were made in phraseology.
