12, 1982, 96 Stat. 1318; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII, Secs. 330004(8),

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Banks and Banking (July 17, 1916, ch. 245, Sec. 31, fifth paragraph, 39
Stat. 384; July 17, 1916, ch. 245, Sec. 211(g), as added Mar. 4, 1923,
ch. 252, Sec. 2, 42 Stat. 1461; Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, title II,
Sec. 216(g), 42 Stat. 1473).
This section condenses and simplifies sections 985, 1127, and 1317
of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, each of which
contained similar provisions and similar language. The punishment
provisions of all three sections were the same.
References to ``chapter'' and ``subchapter'' were omitted and words
describing the various types of banks or organizations to which said
sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and
Banking, related, were inserted in lieu. This necessitated some
rephrasing and transposition of phrases, but without change of meaning
or substance.
Words ``upon conviction'' which were contained in sections 1127 and
1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, were omitted as
surplusage, because punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction.
Changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 330016(1)(G), substituted ``fined under
this title'' for ``fined not more than $500''.
Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 330004(8), struck out ``, or by any National
Agricultural Credit Corporation'' after ``credit bank or banks''.
1982--Pub. L. 97-297 struck out ``, or by any joint-stock land bank
or banks'' after ``issued by any Federal land bank or banks''.
