In subsection (a), the last 27 words are substituted for 10:486a (last sentence). The words rules and and from and after the date of the accrediting of said Academy are omitted as surplusage. The word conditions is substituted for the word regulations.
In subsection (b), the words except section 541 of this title are inserted to reflect the authority to appoint graduates of one service academy as officers of another service.

It is unnecessary to include a reference to section 541 of title 10, since that section does not derogate from the authority granted in this section.
The change reflects the opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force (July 19, 1957) that the words from and after the date of the accrediting of said academies in the source law for section 9353(a) (Act of May 25, 1933, ch. 37 (48 Stat. 73), as amended) were a condition precedent to the authority to grant degrees and should not have been omitted.
