Provision Content

(a) To promote a knowledge of naval engineering and naval architecture, the President, upon the application of any established scientific school or college in the United States, the Commonwealths or possessions, may detail a qualified officer of the Navy as a professor in that school or college.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 374; Pub. L. 109–163, div. A, title X, §1057(a)(5), Jan. 6, 2006, 119 Stat. 3440.)

In subsection (a) the words To promote are substituted for the words For the purposes of promoting for brevity and the words among the young men of the United States are omitted as surplusage. The words naval engineering are substituted for the words steam engineering and the words naval architecture are substituted for the words iron-ship building to conform to current terminology and to express more clearly the intent of the statute. The words the Territories, Commonwealths, or possessions are inserted, since the words United States in the source statute are considered to have included all areas under the United States flag.

Section 1 of the Act of March 3, 1899, ch. 413, 30 Stat. 1004, transferred officers of the Engineer Corps of the Navy to the line of the Navy; therefore, in subsection (a) the words qualified officer are substituted for the words engineer officer to preserve the meaning of the section and to include any officer possessing adequate background and training in engineering duties.

In subsection (b) the word regulations is substituted for the word rules, and the words public interest are substituted for the words public service to conform to current terminology.

Amendments

2006—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 109–163 substituted Commonwealths or possessions for Territories, Commonwealths, or possessions.
