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.
