Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §8 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §8, 35 Stat. 1089).
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103–322, which directed the amendment of this section by striking “fined not more than 0” and inserting “fined under this title”, was executed by substituting “fined under this title” for “fined 0”, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
