The references to actions in concert with others to violate this section are omitted in view of the crime of conspiracy contained in chapter 19 of title 18.
In paragraph (1), the words the rules prescribed by the President under title 5 for the administration of the competitive service and the regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 1302(a) of title 5 are substituted for any such rules or regulations to provide the basis of reference.
The words be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor are omitted as unnecessary in view of the definitive section 1 of this title. (See revisers note under 18 U.S.C. 212, 1964 ed.)
