HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., §§ 122, 205, and sec- tion 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., The Public Health and Welfare (June 18, 1929, ch. 28, § 5, 46 Stat. 22; June 19, 1948, ch. 502, § 2, 62 Stat. 479; July 15, 1949, ch. 338, title VI, § 607, 63 Stat. 441). Section consolidates section 205 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., with that part of section 122 of such title which made such section 205 applicable to the surveys pro- vided for by section 121 of such title (see subchapter IV of chapter 5), and with that part of subsection (b) of section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which made such section 205 applicable to the censuses of housing. References to the Secretary, meaning the Secretary of Commerce, were substituted for references to the Di- rector of the Census, to conform with 1950 Reorganiza- tion Plan No. 5, §§ 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263. See Revision Note to section 4 of this title. Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1964—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 88–530 repealed subsec. (c) which related to duties of enumerators in Bureau of the Census. § 26. Transportation by contract The Secretary may contract with field em- ployees for the rental and use within the conti- nental limits of the United States of means of transportation, other than motorcycle, auto- mobile, or airplane, and for the rental and use outside of the continental United States of any means of transportation, which means may be owned by the field employee. Such rental con- tracts shall be made without regard to section 4 of the Travel Expense Act of 1949, as amended (5 U.S.C. 837). The rentals shall be at rates equiva- lent to the prevailing rental rates of the local- ity. The rental contracts within the continental United States may be entered into only when the use by the field employee of such other means of transportation is safer, more economi- cal, or more advantageous to the Government than use of his motorcycle, automobile, or air- plane in conducting the census.
