25 U.S.C. § 309 : US Code – Section 309: Vocational training program; eligibility; contracts or agreements
This description of the Adult Indian Vocational Training Act tracks the language of the U.S. Code, except that, sometimes, we use plain English and that we may refer to the “Act” (meaning Adult Indian Vocational Training Act) rather than to the “subchapter” or the “title” of the United States Code.
