An employee in or under an Executive agency who is a veteran of a war, or of a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, or a member of an honor or ceremonial group of an organization of those veterans, may be excused from duty without loss of pay or deduction from annual leave for the time necessary, not to exceed 4 hours in any one day, to enable him to participate as an active pallbearer or as a member of a firing squad or a guard of honor in a funeral ceremony for a member of the armed forces whose remains are returned from abroad for final interment in the United States.
(Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 521.)
The words “Executive agency” are coextensive with and substituted for “executive branch of the Government” in view of the definition of “Executive agency” in section 105. Applicability to the General Accounting Office is based on former section 933a.
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
