10 U.S.C. § 7622 — Rations: commissioned officers in field

Page 3106 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 7622 the Assistant General Counsel (Fiscal Matters) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, January 4, 1955.) In subsection (h), the word ‘‘outside’’ is substituted for the words ‘‘beyond the continental limitations’’. The words ‘‘or in Alaska’’ are omitted, since, under sec- tion 101(1) of this title, the words ‘‘United States’’ are defined to include only the States and the District of Columbia. The word ‘‘continental’’, after the words ‘‘within the’’, is omitted for the same reason. The last sentence is substituted for 10:1241 (proviso). In subsection (i), 10:1196 (last 30 words) is omitted as superseded by the Act of April 27, 1914, ch. 72 (last pro- viso under ‘‘Subsistence of the Army’’), 38 Stat. 361. The words ‘‘So much of the’’ and ‘‘as may be nec- essary’’ are omitted as surplusage. The words ‘‘mem- bers * * * on active duty, for the use of themselves and their families’’ are substituted for the words ‘‘officers for the use of themselves and their families, and to commanders of companies or other organizations, for the use of the enlisted men of their companies or orga- nizations’’, to conform to 10:1237 and 1238. Those sec- tions provide the basic authority for procurement and sale of subsistence supplies to all members. This inter- pretation conforms to established administrative prac- tice under those sections. The word ‘‘supplies’’ is sub- stituted for the word ‘‘stores’’. 1962 ACT The change corrects an internal reference.
