To provide terminal leave pay for certain officers of the Navy and Marine Corps, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That any officer who (1) was separated from the Naval or Marine Corps Reserve after September 8, 1939, for the purpose of accepting a commission in the Regular Navy or Marine Corps; (2) was deprived of leave credit solely because of its having been accumulated prior to his so accepting a commission in the Regular Navy or Marine Corps; and (3) was on active duty on September 1, 1946, shall have such leave remain to his credit to the same extent as if he had not been so separated from such Reserve. Leave restored pursuant to this Act, which accrued prior to September 1, 1946, shall be treated as having been to his credit on August 31, 1946, and shall be settled and compensated for in the
37 U. S. C. §§ 32–37; Supp. II, §§ 32–38.
manner prescribed by the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1946, as amended, if application therefor is made within one year after the effective date of this Act.

There are hereby authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act.
