(June 30, 1906, ch. 3929, §6, 34 Stat. 805; June 14, 1937, ch. 336, §2, 50 Stat. 257; June 30, 1969, Pub. L. 91–37, §1(b), 83 Stat. 43.)

1969—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 91–37, which directed the amendment of subsec. (a) by striking out “a Board of Trustees,”, was executed by striking “a board of trustees,” after “executive committee,” to reflect the probable intent of Congress.

1937—Act June 14, 1937, amended section generally, substituting provisions authorizing corporation officers, boards, councils, and committees, and directing that corporation bylaws prescribe their powers, duties, terms of office, and manner of election or appointment, for provisions delineating officers of corporation and providing further detail into composition and method of electing or appointing a board of directors, an executive committee, and a board of trustees.
