The section is rewritten to conform to the style of title 18. The
statement of the acts prohibited is supplied from the Act of Aug. 9,
1955, ch. 690, Sec. 1, 69 Stat. 624, which is codified in section 7311
of title 5, United States Code.
The words ``From and after July 1, 1956'', appearing in the Act of
June 29, 1956, are omitted as executed.
The words ``shall be guilty of a felony'' are omitted as unnecessary
in view of the definitive section 1 of this title. (See reviser's note
under section 550 of this title.)
Amendments
1996--Pub. L. 104-294 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $1,000'' in concluding provisions.
