L. 79–476, 60 Stat. 346, enacted July 1, 1946) is a statute passed by the 79th U.S. Congress.^[1] It provided that the Civil Air Patrol, which later became a civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force, was to be "solely of a benevolent character" and not for its members' pecuniary profit.^[2]
