SEC. 4. SAVINGS PROVISIONS.
All officers and employees employed in the Office of
Alternative Medicine on the day before the date of the en-
actment of this Act (pursuant to section 404E of the Pub-
lic Health Service Act, as in effect on such day) are trans-
ferred to the National Center for Integral Medicine, in-
cluding the members and staff of the advisory council, and
there are transferred to such Center all funds of such Of-
fice available on such day and all other legal rights and
duties of such Office. With respect to the establishment
of a designated Center office pursuant to the amendments
made by section 3, such establishment shall be construed
to constitute a transfer of the designated Center office to
the National Center for Integral Medicine from the Office
of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (in
which the designated Center office was located pursuant
to the relevant former section of the Public Health Service
Act). A transfer referred to in the preceding provisions
of this section does not affect the status of any of the
officers or employees involved (except to the extent that
the amendments made by section 3 affect the authority
to make appointments to employment positions); does not
affect the availability of the funds for the purposes for
which the funds were appropriated (except that in the case
of such National Center such purposes shall apply with
respect to the National Center to the same extent and in
the same manner as the purposes applied with respect to
the Office of Alternative Medicine); and does affect any
other legal rights and duties, which continue in effect in
accordance with their terms. For purposes of this section:
(1) The term ‘‘designated Center office’’ means each of
the Office of Disease Prevention (as established in section
485D of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the
amendments made by section 3 of this Act); the Office
of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (as established
in section 485E of such Act, as so added); and the Office
of Dietary Supplements (as established in section 485F
of such Act, as so added). (2) The term ‘‘relevant former
section of the Public Health Service Act’’, with respect to
a designated Center office, means, in the case of the Office
of Disease Prevention, section 402(f) of the Public Health
Service Act as in effect on the day before the date of the
enactment of this Act; in the case of the Office of Behav-
ioral and Social Sciences Research, section 404A of such
Act as in effect on such day; and in the case of the Office
of Dietary Supplements, section 485C of such Act as in
effect on such day.
