L. 98–524, § 1, Oct. 19, 1984, 98 Stat. 2435, by striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof titles I to V (§§ 1–521), to be cited as the Carl D.

Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998. Pub. L. 88–210 is shown herein, however, as having been added by Pub. L. 105–332 without reference to the intervening amendments listed above because of the extensive revision of Pub. L. 88–210 by Pub. L. 105–332.
