Historical And Revision Notes

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 76a, 76b (June 29, 1932, ch. 306, Secs. 1, 2, 47 Stat. 342; May 22, 1939, ch. 141, 53 Stat. 752). Sections were consolidated.

The term "department or agency" was substituted for "department or independent office" in two places to embrace all properly constituted agencies as defined in section 6 of this title and to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of section.

Minor changes were made in phraseology.

AMENDMENTS 1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $250".
