What the document says
“(C) by striking "existed as of" in subparagraph (D) (as so redesignated) and all that follows through "for" in subparagraph (E) (as so redesignated) and inserting the following: "existed as of December 18, 1971. "(E) For"; and”
Part of the fifth item, and the only one that puts a date into the older law. It strikes everything from the words existed as of in subparagraph (D) through the word for in subparagraph (E), and inserts in place of that run the words existed as of December 18, 1971, followed by a new subparagraph (E) beginning For. This Act does not state what the struck run of text said.
What the document actually says
“(C) by striking "existed as of" in subparagraph (D) (as so redesignated) and all that follows through "for" in subparagraph (E) (as so redesignated) and inserting the following: "existed as of December 18, 1971. "(E) For"; and”
That sentence, in plain words
A long run of words in part D and part E is cut. New words go in. They set a date: December 18, 1971.
What this is about
Part E now starts fresh with the word For. This law does not say what the cut words said.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
