      The words "the reports of the immediate superior specified in
    section 8120 of title 5" are substituted for "the reports specified
    in subsection (a) of this section" to reflect the codification of
    that subsection in title 5, United States Code.
      The words "subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5" and "that
    subchapter" are substituted for "sections 751-756, 757-781, 783-
    791, and 793 of this title" and "said sections", respectively, to
    reflect the codification of the sections in title 5, United States
    Code.
      The words "shall be guilty of a misdemeanor" are omitted as
    unnecessary in view of the definitive section 1 of this title. (See
    reviser's note under 18 U.S.C. 212, 1964 ed.)
      The words "and upon conviction thereof" are omitted as
    unnecessary because punishment can be imposed only after
    conviction.

      1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for
    "fined not more than $500".
