Mr. BENTZ. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 7326 amends chapters 4, 10, and 131 of title 5 to account for laws passed by Congress in the previous 2 years.

Title 5 deals with Federal agencies and employees, and these chapters in particular concern inspectors general, advisory committees, and ethical standards.

This bill was submitted to the Judiciary Committee by the Office of Law Revision Counsel who informed us that this update of title 5 is one of their most urgent projects.

The OLRC is a nonpartisan office that assists the committee in our responsibility to oversee and maintain the United States Code. From time to time, it is necessary for Congress to pass bills, such as this one, to update the Code to account for laws passed by Congress. This bill does not change the meaning of any law on the books. It simply updates the Code to account for action by Congress.

Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support the bill.
