                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 205 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 
321, Sec. 115, 35 Stat. 1109).
    Words ``agency'' and ``employee'' were inserted to eliminate any 
ambiguity as to scope of section. (See definition of agency under 
section 6 of this title.)
    Changes were made in phraseology.


                               Amendments

    1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for 
``fined not more than $3,000''.
