Preface

This is one of five books which constitute Title 32-National Defense,

revised as of December 31, 1954. A single volume entitled “Title 32-

National Defense and Title 34—National Military Establishment” i was

published in 1949. This was replaced by two books, revised as of December

31, 1951. These five books replace the 1951 Revision, and become an

integral part of the Code of Federal Regulations. In consolidating the

material contained in the 1951 Revision with subsequent changes and

additions, there have been included all rules and regulations, general and

permanent in nature, duly published in the Federal Register on or before

December 31, 1954, and effective as to facts arising on and after January 1,

1955.

This book is provided with a pocket for the insertion of annual cumu-

lative supplements. Current regulatory material appearing in the daily
issues of the Federal Register follows the numbering system used herein
and serves as a daily supplement hereto. The book contains a subject index.
It also contains lists of sections affected since the publication of the 1949
volume which furnish Federal Register citation to all changes in the material
since January 1, 1949, including those which are no longer in effect.

This book is published pursuant to Part 2 of the regulations of the

Administrative Committee, approved by the President October 11, 1948

(13 F. R. 5935; 1 CFR Part 2), under the authority contained in section

11 (f) of the Federal Register Act as amended (67 Stat. 388; 44 U. S. C.

311 (f)). The contents of the Federal Register and of the Code of Federal

Regulations are by law prima facie evidence of the text of the original

documents and are required to be judicially noticed (49 Stat. 502, 67 Stat.

388; 44 U.S. C. 307, 311 (e)).

A General Preface to the Code of Federal Regulations appears in Title

1-3 and also in the General Index volume.

originally appearing thereunder having been consolidated with Title 32.
