What the document says
“Section 70508 of title 36, United States Code, is amended by striking ``the District of Columbia,'' and inserting ``a United States location decided by the board of directors and specified in the bylaws,''.”
The section amends section 70508 of title 36, United States Code. It strikes the words 'the District of Columbia,' and inserts in their place the words 'a United States location decided by the board of directors and specified in the bylaws,'. The Act does not reproduce the rest of the sentence those words sit inside.
What the document actually says
“Section 70508 of title 36, United States Code, is amended by striking ``the District of Columbia,'' and inserting ``a United States location decided by the board of directors and specified in the bylaws,''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This part swaps out some words in an old law. Out go the words the District of Columbia. In go words that let the board pick a place. The place must be in the United States. The group's rules must name it.
What this is about
An old law fixed where the main office sat. This part hands that choice to the board. It does not say where the office is now.

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.
