“(2) in the matter preceding subparagraph (A) (as so redesignated), by striking "(c) Each patent" and inserting the following: "(c) Conveyance of Certain Land by Village Corporation.-- "(1) In general.--Each patent";”

What this is about
A heading tells a reader what a part is about. This change adds two of them. The words that were there before stay.

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.
