Provision Content

Subject to regulations under section 121 of title 40, the Secretary of the Air Force may give not more than two obsolete bronze or iron cannons suitable for firing salutes to any home for soldiers or sailors established and maintained under State authority.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 584; Pub. L. 96–513, title V, §514(18), Dec. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 2936; Pub. L. 107–217, §3(b)(39), Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1298.)

The words subject to such regulations as he may prescribe are omitted, since the Secretary has inherent authority to issue regulations appropriate to exercising his statutory functions. The words to any of the ‘National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers’ already established or hereafter established and, in the Act of February 8, 1889, ch. 116, 25 Stat. 657, are not contained in 50:66 (2d sentence). They are also omitted from the revised section, since the National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers were dissolved by the Act of July 3, 1930, ch. 863, 46 Stat. 1016. The Acts of March 3, 1899, ch. 643 (1st proviso under Ordnance Department), 30 Stat. 1073; and May 26, 1900, ch. 586 (1st proviso under Ordnance Department), 31 Stat. 216, as amended, relating to disposal of ordnance to Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers by the Chief of Ordnance of the Army, became inoperative when the Homes were dissolved. Although section 402(e) of the Army Organization Act of 1950, ch. 383, 64 Stat. 273, amended the Act of May 26, 1900, it did not have the effect of reviving that act. The word give is substituted for the word deliver to express more clearly the intent of the section. The words serviceable and as may be on hand undisposed of are omitted as surplusage. The word may is substituted for the words is authorized and directed, since section 9684 of this title provides an alternative method for the disposal of obsolete cannon.

Amendments

2002—Pub. L. 107–217 substituted section 121 of title 40 for section 205 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 486).

1980—Pub. L. 96–513 substituted section 205 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 486) for section 486 of title 40.
