Sec. 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 215 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 124, 35 Stat. 1111).
Words ``or any of its agencies'' were inserted after ``United
States'' so as to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of
section. (See definitive 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 $5,000''.
