Editorial Notes

In subsection (a), the words "National Capital Planning Commission" are substituted for "National Capital Park and Planning Commission" because of section 9 of the Act of June 6, 1924 (ch. 270), as added by section 1 of the Act of July 19, 1952 (ch. 949, 66 Stat. 790). See section 8711(f) of the revised title.
In subsection (c), the words "but all such laws shall remain in full force and effect" are omitted as unnecessary.
