Subject to regulations under section 121 of title 40, the Secretary of the Air Force may sell, without advertisement and at prices that he considers reasonable—
(1)surplus obsolete small arms and ammunition and equipment for them, to any patriotic organization for military purposes; and
(2)surplus obsolete brass or bronze cannons, carriages, and cannon balls, for public parks, public buildings, and soldiers’ monuments.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 583; Pub. L. 96–513, title V, § 514(18), Dec. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 2936; Pub. L. 107–217, § 3(b)(38), Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1298.)
50:64 (proviso) and 50:68 (proviso) are omitted as surplusage.
The words “the Chief of Ordnance” are omitted, since the functions which, for the Army, are assigned by statute to subordinate officers of the Army, are, for the Air Force, assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force.
