Ok...let me lay this out one more time. Since the bill was passed through the US congess and signed by the president of the US I think it pretty much goes without saying that it applies to US citizens and, as such, no special wording is needed to define that. On the other hand, when dealing with aliens (non-citizens), you have to include special wording due to legal issues that could arise with foreign governments that are unhappy when and if one of their citizens is detained (or "disappeared"). Does it make sense now? You're pointing to one provision made for foreign nationals and I'm saying that such a provision doesn't exclude US citizens...it just includes foreign nationals.
