Title 36 - PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AND OBSERVANCES
CHAPTER 4A - AMVETS (AMERICAN VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II, KOREA, AND VIETNAM)
Sec. 67a - Adoption of constitution, bylaws, and declaration of principles; election of officers

A majority of the persons above named and other persons selected from among the membership of AMVETS (American Veterans of World War II), an unincorporated association as set forth in section 67 of this title, met in national convention in Chicago, Illinois, on October 12, 13, and 14, 1945, and then and there, by and through duly elected delegates representing one hundred and thirty-one posts throughout the United States adopted a national constitution, bylaws, and declaration of principles and duly elected national officers for said organization, all as set forth in the Congressional Record, proceedings and debates of the Seventy-ninth Congress, first session, on November 6 and 7, 1945.

(July 23, 1947, ch. 298, §2, 61 Stat. 405.)

Amendment of this section by Pub. L. 95–98, §1(a), Aug. 15, 1977, 91 Stat. 830, which directed that “AMVETS (American Veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam)” be substituted for “AMVETS (American Veterans of World War II)” has not been executed to text because the organization name is used in this section in the context of a historical reference to the name of the predecessor unincorporated association as that association existed at the time of the 1945 convention, at which time the association was named “AMVETS (American Veterans of World War II)”.
