HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

      Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 320 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
    321, Sec. 197, 35 Stat. 1126; Aug. 26, 1935, ch. 694, 49 Stat.
    867).
      The attention of Congress is directed to the mandatory minimum
    punishment provisions of sections 2113(e) and 2114 of this title.
    These were left unchanged because of the controversial question
    involved. Such legislative attempts to control the discretion of
    the sentencing judge are contrary to the opinions of experienced
    criminologists and criminal law experts. They are calculated to
    work manifest injustice in many cases.
      Minor changes were made in phraseology.
                                AMENDMENTS
      1996 - Pub. L. 104-294 amended Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 320602. See
