What the document says
“The paragraph designated as the ``Eleventh'' of section 5136 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (12 U.S.C. 24) is amended, in the fifth sentence, by striking ``15'' each place the term appears and inserting ``20''.”
The section amends the paragraph designated Eleventh of section 5136 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, replacing the figure 15 with 20 wherever it appears in the fifth sentence.
What the document actually says
“The paragraph designated as the ``Eleventh'' of section 5136 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (12 U.S.C. 24) is amended, in the fifth sentence, by striking ``15'' each place the term appears and inserting ``20''.”
That sentence, in plain words
One old sentence has the number 15 in it. Every time it shows up, it is taken out. The number 20 goes in instead.
What this is about
The Revised Statutes are a very old set of federal laws. This one deals with what a national bank may do. Only the number changes here.

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.
