Sec. 4128. Enforcement by Attorney General
In the event of any failure of Federal Prison Industries to act, the
Attorney General shall not be limited in carrying out the duties
conferred upon him by law.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 853.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 744n (June 23, 1934, ch.
736, Sec. 6, 48 Stat. 1212).
Phrase relating to section being ``supplemental'' to sections 744i-
744h of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is omitted as unnecessary.
Retention of remainder of section is essential to insure authority
of Attorney General to require performance of duties of Prison
Industries. (See sections 4001 and 4003 of this title.) This is also
consistent with 1939 Reorganization Plan No. II, Sec. 3(a), transferring
the corporation to the Department of Justice ``under the general
direction and supervision of the Attorney General''. (See section 133t
of title 5, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Executive Departments and Government
Officers and Employees.)
Words ``Federal Prison Industries'' were substituted for ``the
corporation''.
