Paragraph (1) of section 3. It strikes the quoted sentence from subsection (a) of section 102 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 802). The words in quotation marks are the words this Act directs be removed, and nothing is inserted in their place.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The two paragraphs the section contains: the sentence struck from subsection (a) of section 102 of the Congressional Award Act, and the words struck and inserted in the second sentence of subsection (f)(1) of the same section.

Nothing in the section is left out. It runs to two numbered paragraphs and both are recorded.

The section works by amending section 102 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 802), and that Act is not indexed here. So nothing recorded here says what section 102 said before this Act or what it reads as once the amendment is applied, and a reader following the citation will find the older wording until then.
