 94 STAT. 2880

PUBLIC LAW 96-513—DEC. 12, 1980

"If the total number of officers authorized in all commissioned grades is— 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 90,000 100,000 110,000 120,000 130,000 140,000 150,000 160,000 170,000 180,000

Ante, p. 2842.

The authorized strength for general officers is— 312 324 336 349 363 380 398 416 434 452 470 478 486 495.

If the actual strength in commissioned officers on active duty is between two of the figures Hsted in the first column of the table, the authorized strength for general officers is determined by mathematical interpolation between the respective authorized strengths listed in the table. If such strength is more than 180,000, the Secretary of the Air Force shall fix the corresponding strength in general officers in general conformity with the table. "(b) Whenever the number of general officers is less than the number authorized under this section, the difference between the two numbers may be applied to increase the number authorized under section 523 of this title for any lower grade to which such section is applicable. "(c) In time of war, or of national emergency declared by Congress or the President after November 30, 1980, the President may suspend the operation of any provision of this section. So long as such war or national emergency continues, any such suspension may be extended by the President. Any such suspension shall, if not sooner ended, end on the last day of the two-year period beginning on the date on which the suspension (or the last extension thereof) takes effect or on the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of the termination of the war or national emergency, whichever occurs first. With respect to the end of any such suspension, the preceding sentence supersedes the provisions of title II of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621-1622) which provide that powers or authorities exercised by reason of a national emergency shall cease to be exercised after the date of the termination of the emergency.".
