U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1518. Custody of buildings; officers transferred
The Secretary of Commerce shall have charge, in the buildings or
premises occupied by or appropriated to the Department of Commerce,
of the library, furniture, fixtures, records, and other property
pertaining to it or acquired for use in its business; and he shall
be allowed to expend for periodicals and the purposes of the
library, and for the rental of appropriate quarters for the
accommodation of the Department of Commerce within the District of
Columbia, and for all other incidental expenses, such sums as
Congress may provide from time to time. Where any office, bureau,
or branch of the public service transferred to the Department of
Commerce is occupying rented buildings or premises, it may still
continue to do so until other suitable quarters are provided for
its use. All officers, clerks, and employees employed on February
14, 1903, in or by any of the bureaus, offices, departments, or
branches of the public service transferred to the Department of
Commerce are each and all transferred to said department, except
where otherwise provided by law. All laws prescribing the work and
defining the duties of the several bureaus, offices, departments,
or branches of the public service transferred to and made a part of
the Department of Commerce shall, so far as the same are not in
conflict with the provisions of this Act, remain in full force and
effect until otherwise provided by law.
