§ 303(b) (less (15)), 78 Stat.

The proviso in paragraph (15) of former section 2211(b)
is carried into section 5314. The remainder of paragraph
(15) is omitted but not repealed, see table III. The part
of paragraph (15) that is omitted but not repealed pro-
vides that the position of Director of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation shall be in Level II of the Federal
Executive Salary Schedule so long as the position is
held by the incumbent of the position on August 14,
1964. The omission of this provision from title 5, with-
out repealing the corresponding provision of the source
statute, in effect leaves existing statute unchanged in-
sofar as it relates to the present incumbent of the posi-
tion of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Standard changes are made to conform with the defi-
nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined
in the preface to the report.
