      In this section, the text of 36:1306 (1st sentence) is omitted as

      Before clause (1), the word "objects" is omitted as included in
    "purposes". The word "including" is substituted for "Without
    limiting the generality of the foregoing, the corporation shall
    have the following specific powers" to eliminate unnecessary words.
      In clause (1), the word "adopt" is substituted for "enact", the
    word "regulations" is substituted for "rules, and regulations", and
    the words "for the management of its property and the regulation of
    its affairs" are substituted for "for its internal governance and
    management", for consistency in the revised title. The words "not
    inconsistent with this chapter or other provisions of law" are
    omitted as unnecessary.
      In clause (5), the words "as the activities of the corporation
    require" are substituted for "as may be necessary to carry out the
    corporate purposes" for consistency in the revised title.
      In clause (6), the words "make contracts" are substituted for
    "make and enter into contracts" for consistency in the revised
    title and to eliminate unnecessary words.
      Clause (7) is substituted for 36:1303(d) for consistency in the
    revised title.
      In clause (8), the words "for the purposes of the corporation"
    are omitted as unnecessary. The words "instruments of indebtedness,
    and secure its obligations by granting security interests in its
    property" are substituted for "bonds therefor, and secure the same
    by mortgage" for consistency in the revised title. The words
    "subject in every case to all applicable provisions of Federal and
    State law" are omitted as unnecessary.
      In clause (10), the words "State, regional, local, and overseas"
    are omitted as unnecessary. The words "as needed" are substituted
    for "in such manner and by such rules as it deems appropriate so as
    to enable it", and the words "to carry out the purposes stated in
    section 220102 of this title" are substituted for "to carry out its
    powers and accomplish the objects and purposes set forth in section
    1302 of this title", to eliminate unnecessary words.
      In clause (11), the word "raise" is omitted as included in
    "solicit". The words "for the accomplishment of its purposes" are
    omitted as unnecessary. The words "accept gifts, legacies, devises,
    and support in furtherance thereof" are omitted as unnecessary
    because the same power is granted by the words "solicit funds" (in
    this clause) and "acquire [and] own . . . property" (in clause
    (6)).
      In clause (12), the words "in any court" are omitted as
    unnecessary.
      In clause (13), the words "any other act" are substituted for
    "any and all acts and things" for consistency in the revised title
    and to eliminate unnecessary words. The words "the purposes stated
    in section 220102 of this title" are substituted for "the foregoing
    specifically enumerated purposes" for clarity and consistency in
    the revised section.
