Codification Background

This section was originally enacted as section 209 of the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 (Pub. L. 67-13), and classified to the U.S. Code as 31 U.S.C. 18 and 18a. The codification and revision law of 1983, Public Law 97-258 (which has no short title) transferred it to its present location in title 31 without substantive revision.

Historical and Revision Notes

Revised Section	Source (U.S.Code)	Source (Statutes at Large)
1111	31:18.	June 10, 1921, ch. 18, §209, 42 Stat. 22; Reorg. Plan No. 1 of 1939, eff. July 1, 1939, §1, 53 Stat. 1423; Reorg. Plan No. 2 of 1970, eff. July 1, 1970, §102(a), 84 Stat. 2085. The text as enacted stated that “the Bureau, when directed by the President, shall …” but Law Revision Counsel editorially changed it to simply say “the President shall …”
	31:18a.	Sept. 12, 1950, ch. 946, §104, 64 Stat. 834; Reorg. Plan No. 2 of 1970, eff. July 1, 1970, §102(a), 84 Stat. 2085. The Reorganization Plan of 1970 changed the name of the Bureau of the Budget to Office of Management and Budget, and hence this is indicated since the original text, though editorially omitted by Law Revision Counsel, stated “the Bureau”.
