Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 388 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 238, 35 Stat. 1136; June 25, 1936, ch. 815, Sec. 6, 49 Stat.
1929).
Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary
in view of definition of ``principal'' in section 2 of this title.
Words ``Territory, or District of the United States, or place
noncontiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof,'' which
appeared twice, were omitted. See section 5 of this title defining the
``United States.''
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $1,000''.
