Historical and Revision Notes

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §85 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §35, 35 Stat. 1095; Oct. 23, 1918, ch. 194, 40 Stat. 1015; June 18, 1934, ch. 587, 48 Stat. 996; Apr. 4, 1938, ch. 69, 52 Stat. 197).

Word agency was substituted for department so as to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of section. (See definitions of department and agency in section 6 of this title.)

Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of principal in section 2 of this title.

Minor changes were made in phraseology.

Amendments
