In this chapter, the words “Administrator of General Services” are substituted for “Chief of Engineers” [subsequently changed to “Director of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital” because of section 3 of the Act of February 26, 1925 (ch. 339, 43 Stat. 983), “Director of the National Park Service” because of section 2 of Executive Order No. 6166 (eff. June 10, 1933) and the Act of March 2, 1934 (ch. 38, 48 Stat. 389), and “Public Buildings Administrator” because of sections 301 and 303 of Reorganization Plan No.
