(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 754; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII, 
Sec. 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 85 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, 
Sec. 35, 35 Stat. 1095; Oct. 23, 1918, ch. 194, 40 Stat. 1015; June 18, 
1934, ch. 587, 48 Stat. 996; Apr. 4, 1938, ch. 69, 52 Stat. 197).
    Word ``agency'' was substituted for ``department'' so as to 
eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of section. (See 
definitions of ``department'' and ``agency'' in section 6 of this 
title.)
    Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary 
in view of definition of ``principal'' in section 2 of this title.
    Minor changes were made in phraseology.


                               Amendments

    1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for 
``fined not more than $10,000''.
