What the document says
“in paragraph (1) by striking ``and contracts'' and inserting ``, contracts, and other agreements'';”
Section 101(d) of the Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1952(d)), the provision this Act renumbers from section 3(d), is amended so that its subsection heading and its first paragraph name other agreements alongside grants, cooperative agreements and contracts.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (1) by striking ``and contracts'' and inserting ``, contracts, and other agreements'';”
That sentence, in plain words
The words and contracts come out of one line. The words contracts, and other agreements go in.
What this is about
That part of the old law is about deals made to pay for work. The new words name more kinds of deal. The old law is not printed here.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
