References in Text
Section 4995 of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(3), (4), was in the original a reference to section 125, meaning section 125 of Pub. L. 93–113, which has been translated as reading section 124 of Pub. L. 93–113 to reflect the probable intent of Congress and the renumbering of section 125 of Pub. L. 93–113 as section 124 by
Pub. L. 103–82, title III, §333(2), Sept. 21, 1993, 107 Stat. 903
. Pub. L. 93–113 does not contain a section 125.
