HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES 1956 ACT
Revised section	Source (U.S. Code)	Source (Statutes at Large)
9336	10:1079a(a).	Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 512, §520(a) 61 Stat. 912.

The word "grade" is substituted for the word "rank". The words "pay, and allowances" are omitted, since they are determined by the grade held. 10:1079a(a) (last proviso), and the words "Hereafter each of", "who have been or may hereafter be", and "and appointed in" are omitted as surplusage.

1958 ACTThe word "regular" is deleted [in sections 9335 and 9336] to make clear that a Dean or professor of the United States Air Force Academy holds only the office of "Dean" or "professor" and not the office of "brigadier general" or "colonel", as the case may be, even though he is entitled to the pay and allowances of that grade.
