What the document says
“by striking ``the rate of $1,406.73'' and inserting ``the rate described in subparagraph (B)''”
Section 3 amends subsection (a)(1) of section 1562 of title 38, United States Code. The dollar figure the subsection carried is struck and a cross reference put in its place, and the existing text is designated subparagraph (A). What the rate becomes is set by the new subparagraph (B), recorded separately.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``the rate of $1,406.73'' and inserting ``the rate described in subparagraph (B)''”
That sentence, in plain words
The old words set the pay at $1,406.73 each month. Those words come out. New words point to a rate.
What this is about
The old law named one sum. The new words are set out later in this same part.

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.
