HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

      Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 456 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
    321, Sec. 277, 35 Stat. 1143).
      Words "within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction
    of the United States" were added in view of definitive section 7 of
    this title, and section was rearranged to more clearly express
    intent of existing law.
      Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
