------------------------------------------------------------------------
The words ``the reports of the immediate superior specified in
section 8120 of title 5'' are substituted for ``the reports specified in
subsection (a) of this section'' to reflect the codification of that
subsection in title 5, United States Code.
The words ``subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5'' and ``that
subchapter'' are substituted for ``sections 751-756, 757-781, 783-791,
and 793 of this title'' and ``said sections'', respectively, to reflect
the codification of the sections in title 5, United States Code.
The words ``shall be guilty of a misdemeanor'' are omitted as
unnecessary in view of the definitive section 1 of this title. (See
reviser's note under 18 U.S.C. 212, 1964 ed.)
The words ``and upon conviction thereof'' are omitted as unnecessary
because punishment can be imposed only after conviction.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $500''.
