Preface This book contains the rules and regulations constituting Title 38, revised as of January 1, 1964. It replaces the volume entitled "Title 38-Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief, Revised 1956," and becomes an integral part of the Code of Federal Regulations. Current regulatory material appearing in the daily issues of the FEDERAL REGISTER follows the numbering system used herein, and serves as a daily supplement hereto. The text in this revision is derived from the latest text of the rules and regulations, general and permanent in nature, duly promulgated in the FEDERAL REGISTER on or before December 31, 1963. Source materials from which the text is derived are cited with the text and should be consulted to determine the effective date of any given provision. All dates appearing in the source citations are dates of publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER and should not be construed as effective dates. This volume contains the following finding aids: a list of current CFR volumes; a list of superseded CFR volumes; a table of CFR titles and chapters; an alphabetical list of CFR subtitles and chapters; and a list of sections affected which furnishes FEDERAL REGISTER citations to all changes in Title 38 since January 1, 1949, including changes which are no longer in effect. Publication of this volume is pursuant to Part 30 of the regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, as revised March 20, 1959 (24 F.R. 2352; 1 CFR Part 30), under the authority contained in section 11 of the Federal Register Act (67 Stat. 388, as amended; 44 U.S.C. 311). The contents of the FEDERAL Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are by law prima facie evidence of the text of the original documents and are required to be judicially noticed (49 Stat. 502, 67 Stat. 388; 44 U.S.C. 307, 311). The approved citation of the Code is "CFR." Thus the citation 38 CFR 1.9 refers to section 1.9 of this title. January 2, 1964. D. C. EBERHART |
