Subsection (a)(1) is substituted for “land occupied in part on June 7, 1924, by the Memorial to the Women of the Civil War, the permanent headquarters of the American Red Cross” in 36:15 because the words in the source refer to the building, provided for by the Act of October 22, 1913 (ch. 32 (par. under heading “Monument to Commemorate the Women of the Civil War”), 38 Stat. 233), that was built as the permanent headquarters of the American Red Cross, the predecessor organization to the corporation.

In subsection (a)(3), the words “That authority be, and is hereby, given to the American National Red Cross to erect . . . in replacement of the temporary building or buildings erected on such lot under Public Resolution Numbered 3, Sixty–fifth Congress (S.J. Res. 61)” in section 1 of the Act of February 7, 1930 (ch. 42, 46 Stat. 66) are omitted as executed.

The functions of the Director of the National Park Service related to public buildings were transferred to the Federal Works Administrator by section 303(b) of Reorganization Plan No. I of 1939 (5 App. U.S.C.). The functions of the Federal Works Administrator were transferred to the Administrator of General Services by section 103(a) of the Act of June 30, 1949 (ch. 288, 63 Stat. 380). The words “the corporation shall care for and maintain the buildings” are substituted for “the American National Red Cross shall at all times be charged with the responsibility, the care, keeping, and maintenance of said building” in 36:13, and “the American Red Cross shall at all times be charged with the responsibility, the care, keeping, and maintenance of the said memorial building” in 36:15, for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary words.
