The words “employees as defined by section 2105 of this title” are coextensive with and substituted for “Federal officers and employees”.

In subsection (a)(2)(v), the words “subchapter I of chapter 81 of this title” are substituted for “the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, as amended” to reflect the codification of the act in title 5, U.S.C.
