Historical and Revision Notes
Revised sectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large)
6083 34 U.S.C. 902d. Mar. 2, 1933, ch. 184, §4, 47 Stat. 1423; Aug. 3, 1951, ch. 287, 65 Stat. 151.

The words "the cost of each ration for that mess" are substituted for the words "the monetary limit of the cost of ration aboard such ships and at such stations" to make it clear that the figure fixed by the Secretary of the Navy under this section is the amount the mess may spend per day for food for each man subsisting at the mess.
