HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

                                 1948 ACT
      Based on sections 1026(a) and 1514(a) of title 7, U.S.C., 1940
    ed., Agriculture, sections 596, 981, 1122, 1123, 1138d(a), 1248,
    1312, 1313, 1441(a), and 1467(a), of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
    Banks and Banking, and section 616(a) of title 15, U.S.C., 1940
    ed., Commerce and Trade (Dec. 23, 1913, ch. 6, Sec. 22(h), as added
    June 19, 1934, ch. 653, Sec. 3, 48 Stat. 1107; July 17, 1916, ch.

    Stat. 11; July 22, 1932, ch. 522, Sec. 21(a), 47 Stat. 738; June
    13, 1933, ch. 64, Sec. 8(a), 48 Stat. 134; June 16, 1933, ch. 98,
    Sec. 64(a), 48 Stat. 267; Jan. 31, 1934, ch. 7, Sec. 13, 48 Stat.
    347; June 3, 1935, ch. 164, Sec. 21, 49 Stat. 319; July 22, 1937,
    ch. 517, title IV, Sec. 52(a); 50 Stat. 531; Feb. 16, 1938, ch. 30,
    title V, Sec. 514(a), 52 Stat. 76; Aug. 14, 1946, ch. 964, Sec. 3,
    60 Stat. 1064).
      Each of the 13 sections from which this section was derived
    contained similar provisions either relating to false
    representations and statements, or overvaluation of security, with
    respect to one or more of the named banks, agencies, or
    corporations.
      These were consolidated and the false statement and security
    overvaluation provisions of all, form the basis of this section.
    The provisions of section 981 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks
    and Banking, relating to acceptance of loans or gratuities by
    examiners, were consolidated with similar provisions from other
    sections to form section 218 [now section 213] of this title. The
    provisions of said section 981 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks
    and Banking, prohibiting land bank and national farm loan
    association examiners from performing "any other service for
    compensation for any bank or banking or loan association, or for
    any person connected therewith in any capacity" were consolidated
    with similar provisions from other sections to form section 1909 of
    this title.
      Eight of the consolidated sections contained identical
    punishment, each providing for a maximum fine of $5,000 and maximum
    imprisonment of 2 years. Two sections provided for a maximum fine
    of $10,000 and maximum imprisonment of 5 years. One section
    provided for maximum fine of $5,000 and maximum imprisonment of 5
    years, one section provided for maximum fine of $2,000 and maximum
    imprisonment of 2 years, and one section provided for maximum fine
    of $5,000 and maximum imprisonment of 1 year.
      The punishment by maximum fine of $5,000 or maximum imprisonment
    of 2 years, or both, provided in this consolidated section was
    adopted as most consistent with the greater number of comparable
    sections. (See sections 1008 and 1010 of this title.) This is a
    reasonable reconciliation of the conflicting punishment provisions
    and adequate for the offenses described.
      The enumeration of "application, advance, discount, purchase,
    purchase agreement, repurchase agreement, commitment, or loan" and
    the wording "or any change or extension of any of the same, by
    renewal, deferment of action or otherwise, or the acceptance,
    release, or substitution of security therefor" does not occur in
    any one of the original sections, but such enumeration and such
    wording are adequate, and they represent a composite of terms and
    transactions mentioned in each.
      In addition, changes were made in phraseology to secure
    uniformity of style, and some rephrasing was necessary, but the
    consolidation was without change of substance except as above
    indicated.
      Section 1138d(f) of Title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and
    Banking, relating to conspiracy, was not added to this consolidated
    section for reasons given in reviser's note under section 493 of
    this title.
                                 1949 ACT
      [Section 21] conforms section 1014 of Title 18 U.S.C., to
    administrative practice which in turn was modified to comply with
    congressional policy. (See note to sec. 11 [of 1949 Act, set out in
    Historical and Revision note under section 657 of this title]).
