At that time, it became the standard for every federal agency.
That decision, while official, could be reversed by any future president, also by executive order.
The House attempt to "codify" it was meant to ensure that it could not be reversed in the future without an act of Congress. Whether it passes the Senate or not, "Gulf of America" would remain as the official standard.
