In subsection (a), the text of 40:612(2) and 612a(1) is omitted because the complete name of the Adminis- trator of General Services is used the first time the term appears in a section. In clause (5)(A), the words ‘‘mixed-ownership Government corporation’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘mixed ownership corporation’’ for consist- ency with 31:9101. In clause (5)(B) and (C), the words ‘‘from time to time hereafter’’ are omitted as unneces- sary. In clause (6), the words ‘‘territories and’’ are added for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. In subsection (b), the text of 40:613(1)–(3) is omitted as obsolete. The reference is to section 241(g) of the Immi- gration and Nationality Act rather than to section 242(c) to reflect the amendment of sections 241 and 242 by sections 305(a)(3) and 306(a)(2) of the Illegal Immi- gration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–208, div.
