HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 96 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 44, 35 Stat. 1097; Mar. 4, 1917, ch. 180, 39 Stat. 1194;
May 22, 1917, ch. 20, Sec. 19, 40 Stat. 89).
Jurisdiction and venue provisions were omitted as unnecessary and
inconsistent with Rule 18 of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure providing for prosecution where the offense is committed,
and section 3238 of this title providing that trial of offenses
committed outside any district shall be in the district where the
offender is found, or into which he is first brought.
Words "on conviction thereof" were omitted as surplusage as
punishment cannot be imposed until conviction is had.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for
"fined not more than $5,000" in last par.
