(3)Secretaries and supplies of the Armed Services Department of the Young Men’s Christian Association.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 266, § 4744; Pub. L. 86–624, § 4(d), July 12, 1960, 74 Stat. 411; renumbered § 2648 and amended Pub. L. 108–375, div. A, title X, § 1072(a), (b)(1), Oct. 28, 2004, 118 Stat. 2057; Pub. L. 111–383, div. A, title III, § 352(d), (e)(1), Jan. 7, 2011, 124 Stat. 4193.)

Reference to the Philippine government, contained in the source statute for 10:1371, is omitted, since the Philippine Republic now has the status of a foreign country and only possessions of the United States are intended to be covered by the source statute. The words “Armed Services Department” are substituted for the words “Army and Navy Department”, in 10:1370, to reflect the present name of that Department of the Young Men’s Christian Association.
