Any law, regulation, map, document, record or other paper of the United States that refers to the clinic is to be considered a reference to it under the new name, so that records made before the Act do not have to be reissued. The sentence reaches records of the United States, and names no State or local record.

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.
