(The quotation of the aforesaid laws of the United States is intended to make them a part of any appropriate chapter and to avoid constitutional uncertainties which might result if such laws were merely incorporated by reference. The quotation of a provision of the federal internal revenue code or of any other law of the United States shall not necessarily mean that it is applicable to or has relevance to any of the chapters.)
