     § 1954.  Merger of subsequent amendments.
        Whenever a statute has been more than once amended, the
     latest amendment shall be read into the original statute as
     previously amended and not into such statute as originally
     enacted. This rule applies whether or not the previous amendment
     is referred to and whether or not its language is incorporated
     in the latest amendment. If the insertions in and the deletions
     from the statute made by the previous amendment are not
     incorporated in the later, they shall nevertheless be read into
     the later amendment as though they had in fact been incorporated
     therein.
