Repealing and savings provisions All laws, orders, and regulations inconsistent with the provisions of this title 1 are repealed in- sofar as they are inconsistent with the powers, duties, and responsibilities enacted hereby: Pro- vided, That the powers, duties, and responsibil- ities of the Secretary of Defense under this title 1 shall be administered in conformance with the policy and requirements for administration of budgetary and fiscal matters in the Govern- ment generally, including accounting and finan- cial reporting, and that nothing in this title 1 shall be construed as eliminating or modifying the powers, duties, and responsibilities of any other department, agency, or officer of the Gov- ernment in connection with such matters, but no such department, agency, or officer shall ex- ercise any such powers, duties, or responsibil- ities in a manner that will render ineffective the provisions of this title.1 (July 26, 1947, ch. 343, title III, § 312, formerly title IV, § 411, as added Aug. 10, 1949, ch. 412, § 11, 63 Stat. 590; renumbered title III, § 312, Pub. L. 116–92, div. E, title LXVII, § 6742(b)(11), Dec. 20, 2019, 133 Stat. 2240.) Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT This title, referred to in text, meant, when enacted, title IV of act July 26, 1947, ch. 343, which was added by section 11 of act Aug. 10, 1949, ch. 412, 63 Stat. 585, and which consisted of sections 401 to 411, this section being section 411. Section 11 of act Aug. 10, 1949—except for ‘‘§ 411’’—was repealed by Pub. L. 87–651, § 307, Sept. 7, 1962, 76 Stat. 526. Although that repeal was executed by repealing title IV of act July 26, 1947 (except for this section), and the subsequent renumbering of section 411 of that Act as section 312 suggests that this section is now within title III, it is unclear whether the reference to ‘‘this title’’ should now be interpreted as referring to title III (classified to this subchapter) or whether it continues to refer to the now eliminated title IV. See Codification note below. CODIFICATION When originally enacted, this section was section 411 of title IV of the National Security Act of 1947, act July 26, 1947, ch. 343 (‘‘the Act’’). Title IV of the Act, con- sisting of sections 401 to 411, was added by section 11 of act Aug. 10, 1949, ch. 412, 63 Stat. 585. Provisions of title IV of the Act were restated by Pub. L. 87–651, Sept. 7, 1962, 76 Stat. 506, section 307 of which (at 76 Stat. 526) subsequently repealed section 11 of act Aug. 10, 1949— except for ‘‘§ 411’’—but did not repeal any of the sec- tions in title IV directly. Nevertheless, the repeal of section 11, except for ‘‘§ 411’’, was executed as a repeal of title IV of the Act, except for this section. There is debate as to whether any of title IV of the Act contin- ued to exist after the repeal such that section 411 re-
