SEC. 502. INTERIM APPOINTMENT OF UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS.

Section 546 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by striking subsections (c) and (d) and inserting the following new subsection:

`(c) A person appointed as United States attorney under this section may serve until the qualification of a United States Attorney for such district appointed by the President under section 541 of this title.'.

That law is such a mish mash. I don't know about you, but I'm certainly glad that the PATRIOT Act covers smokeless tobacco, methamphetamine, and restricts sales of over-the-counter decongestants.
