(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 795; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII, 
Sec. 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 215 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 
321, Sec. 124, 35 Stat. 1111).
    Words ``or any of its agencies'' were inserted after ``United 
States'' so as to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of 
section. (See definitive section 6 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 $5,000''.
