Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §146 (Dec. 11, 1926, ch. 2, §1, 44 Stat. 917).
References to persons causing, procuring, aiding or assisting were omitted as unnecessary as such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title.
Also, in first paragraph, word "agency" was substituted for "branch", in view of definitions of department and agency in section 6 of this title.
Words "upon conviction" in last paragraph were omitted as surplusage since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Minor changes of phraseology were also made.

Amendments
