(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. 84 (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.)
Words ``or any corporation in which the United States of America is
a stockholder'' were omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of
``agency'' in 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 $10,000''.
