In subsection (a), the words ‘‘on active duty’’ are in- serted for clarity. In subsection (b), the words ‘‘rates of charge’’, ‘‘to cover the cost of purchase, inspection, and so forth’’, and ‘‘as can be spared without detriment to the mili- tary service’’ are omitted as surplusage. The words ‘‘the contract prices paid therefor’’ are omitted to re- flect Title IV of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (63 Stat. 585), which authorized the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations governing the use and sale of certain inventories, at cost, including appli- cable administrative expenses. (See opinion of the As- sistant General Counsel (Fiscal Matters) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, January 4, 1955.) The word ‘‘equipments’’ is omitted as covered by the word ‘‘sup- plies’’. In subsections (b) and (c), the words ‘‘The Secretary’’ are substituted for the words ‘‘Medical Department of the Army’’, since the functions which, for the Army, are assigned by statute to subordinate organizational units of the Army, are, for the Air Force, assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force. In subsection (c), the words ‘‘in the District of Co- lumbia’’ are omitted as surplusage, since there is only one Soldiers’ Home. The words ‘‘Upon proper applica- tion therefor’’ are omitted as surplusage. The words ‘‘its contract prices’’ are omitted to reflect Title IV of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (63 Stat. 585), which authorized the Secretary of Defense to pre- scribe regulations governing the use and sale of certain inventories at cost, including applicable administrative expenses.
