      In subsection (a)(3), the words "section 841(d) of title 18" are
    substituted for "section 121(1) of title 50" because of the
    enactment of 18:ch. 39 and the repeal of the provisions classified

    Control Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-452, 84 Stat. 952, 960). The
    plural form "explosives" is used because that is the term defined
    in 18:841(d).
      In subsection (a)(4), the words "section 921(3) of title 18" are
    substituted for "section 901(3) of title 15" because of the

    to 15:901(3) by sections 902 and 906 of the Omnibus Crime Control
    and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-351, 82 Stat. 226,
    234).
      In subsection (e)(1)(A), the plural "explosives" is used for
    consistency with the term defined in subsection (a)(3). In
    subclause (iii), the words "by any means" are omitted as
    unnecessary.
      In subsection (e)(2)(A), the words "unless authorized to do so
    pursuant to rules adopted, or authorization given, by that House"
    are substituted for "unless such person is authorized, pursuant to
    rules adopted by that House or pursuant to authorization given by
    that House, to enter or to remain upon such floor or in such
    cloakroom, lobby, or room" to eliminate unnecessary words.

    may suspend any of the prohibitions contained in sections 5103 and
    5104 of this title that would prevent the use of the roads and
    walks within the Grounds by processions or assemblages, and the use
    in the Grounds of suitable decorations, music, addresses, and
    ceremonies, if responsible officers have been appointed and the
    President and the Speaker determine that adequate arrangements have
    been made to maintain suitable order and decorum in the proceedings
    and to guard the United States Capitol and its grounds from injury.
      (b) Power To Suspend Prohibitions in Absence of President or
