(a) The Congress hereby consents to amendments to Articles XII and XVI of Title III of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Regulation Compact substantially as set out in § 9-1107.01.

(Oct. 21, 1972, 86 Stat. 1000, Pub. L. 92-517, title I, § 101.)
1981 Ed., § 1-2435.
1973 Ed., § 1-1431b.
The amendments referred to in subsection (a) of this section are to §§ 56(e) and 82(a) of the Compact.
This section originated at a time when local government powers were delegated to the District of Columbia Council and to a Commissioner of the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, 87 Stat. 818, § 711 ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.11), abolished the District of Columbia Council and the Office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia. These branches of government were replaced by the Council of the District of Columbia and the Office of Mayor of the District of Columbia, respectively. Accordingly, and also pursuant to § 714(a) of such Act ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.14(a)), appropriate changes in terminology were made in this section.
