Pub. L. 112–81, §1111(1), which directed amendment of first sentence by inserting "and the Secretaries of the military departments" after "the Secretary of Defense", was executed by making the insertion after "The Secretary of Defense" to reflect the probable intent of Congress.

1982-Pub. L. 97–295 substituted "pay" for "compensation" in section catchline and text.

1966-Pub. L. 89–718 struck out designation "(a)" at beginning of section and repealed subsec.
