Amendments
1972—Pub. L. 92–576, which directed the general amendment of "[s]ection 21a of the Act", meaning section 21a of act Mar. 4, 1927, was executed to this section, which is act May 4, 1928, ch. 502, to reflect the probable intent of Congress. Act Mar. 4, 1927, does not contain a section 21a.
