To protect regular order for budgeting for the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes, Sec. 1

The inserted paragraph does not define a senior executive position for itself. It takes the meaning from section 3132(a) of title 5, United States Code, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“In this paragraph, the term `Senior Executive Service position' has the meaning given such term in section 3132(a) of title 5.”

That sentence, in plain words

The law says what a top staff job means here. It borrows the meaning from a different law.

What this is about

That other law is title 5. This site does not index it. So this site does not say what it says.

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.
