Historical and Revision Notes
Based on sections 983 and 1124 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks
and Banking (July 17, 1916, ch. 245, Sec. 31 [third and fourth sentences
of third paragraph], 39 Stat. 383; July 17, 1916, ch. 245, Sec. 211(d)
[part of first sentence], as added Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, Sec. 2, 42
Stat. 1460; June 16, 1933, ch. 98, Sec. 80(a), 48 Stat. 273).
Section 983 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, does
not include the term ``farm credit examiner,'' as used in this section,
but it relates thereto as is indicated by sections 951 and 952 of said
title.
Section 1124 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, which
was taken from a chapter in that title dealing with Federal intermediate
credit banks, also relates to farm credit examiners as is indicated by
section 1093 thereof. Even so, it was deemed advisable to retain the
reference to any examiner ``public or private,'' as used in said section
1124.
For clarification, the types of associations, banks, and
organizations to which section relates, were enumerated wherever
referred to, and words ``examined by him under the provisions of law
relating to Federal intermediate credit banks'' were inserted.
In addition, changes were made in phraseology.
The provisions relating to disqualification from holding office as
an incident to violation were contained in section 1124 of title 12,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking.
For bribery and other provisions of section 1124 of title 12,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, see sections 218 and 1909 of this
title.
Other provisions of said section 983 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
were incorporated in section 221 of this title.
