HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
HOUSE REPORT NO. 94-1476
Section 507, which is substantially identical with section 115 of
the present law [section 115 of former title 17], establishes a
three-year statute of limitations for both criminal proceedings and
civil actions. The language of this section, which was adopted by
the act of September 7, 1957 (71 Stat. 633) [Pub. L. 85-313, Sec.
1, Sept. 7, 1957, 71 Stat. 633], represents a reconciliation of
views, and has therefore been left unaltered.
