HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

      Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 409, 412 (Feb. 13,
    1913, ch. 50, Sec. 1, 37 Stat. 670; Oct. 15, 1914, ch. 323, Sec. 9,
    38 Stat. 733; Jan. 28, 1925, ch. 102, 43 Stat. 793; Jan. 21, 1933,
    ch. 16, 47 Stat. 773; July 24, 1946, ch. 606, 60 Stat. 656).
      Section consolidates a portion of section 409 with section 412,
    both of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Other provisions of said section
    409 are incorporated in sections 659 and 2117 of this title.
      Definitive language in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
    as to offense being a felony was deleted to conform with section 1
    of this title. (See reviser's note under section 550 of this
    title.)
      Words "imprisoned" was substituted for "confined in the
    penitentiary" in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., in view
    of power of Attorney General under section 4082 of this title.
      Minimum punishment provision "less than one year nor" in section
    412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was omitted for reasons in
    reviser's note under section 203 of this title.
      Maximum fine of $5,000 was substituted for minimum fine of $500
    in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., as being more
    consonant with the scheme of penalties and offenses provided by
    Congress for most sections in this chapter.
      Sentence in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., "Nothing
    in this section shall be held to take away or impair the
    jurisdiction of the several courts under the laws thereof;", was
    omitted in view of section 3231 of this title.
      Changes were made in phraseology.
                                AMENDMENTS

    "fined not more than $5,000" in first par.
