     In  accordance with  the delimiting provisions   f 3
U.S.C.,§  2105(c) (1976)  this Offtice'bas held that while
nonappropriated  funds  instrumentAlities are  integral parts

such  instrulnentalities are not c6nsidered  to be employees
of the United  States for  the purpses,,of  laws administered
by the  Civil Service Commission  (now Office  of Personnel
Management).   This conclusion  results from  the clear
legislative  intent that  the purpose of excluding  employees
of the nonappropriated   funds instrdzmentalities from the
restrictions  and requirements  applicable  to civil service
employees  was to enable  such instrumentalities  to be
operated  in accordance with  methodetof private  commercial
enterprise.   37 Comp. Gen.  671 (195V), and  48 id. 192  (196
