What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The naming provision, which is the whole of the section.

Nothing. The section contains only the short title. The approval line and the legislative history the Government Publishing Office prints after the last section are held out of the indexed text.

The section says what the Act may be called. It does not say what the Act does.
