                      Historical and Revision Notes

    This section is definitive and is included to obviate the necessity 
of spelling out in detail in each section of the bill where the 
Secretary is referred to, ``the Secretary of the Treasury when the Coast 
Guard is operating in the Treasury Department and the Secretary of the 
Navy when the Coast Guard is operating as a service in the Navy.'' 81st 
Congress, House Report No. 557.
