Sec. 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 189 (Mar. 4, 1911, ch.
270, 36 Stat. 1355).
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.)
References to persons aiding and abetting were omitted. Such persons
are principals under section 2 of this title.
Minor verbal changes were made.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $5,000'' in last par.
