(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 713; Pub. L. 103-322, title
XXXIII, Sec. 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 349 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 220, 35 Stat. 1132; May 26, 1926, ch. 396, 44 Stat. 653).
A paragraph defining "foreign government" was combined with other
like provisions to form section 11 of this title. A proviso against
repeal, "Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be
held to repeal or modify section 350 of this title [now section 504
of this title]", was deleted as unnecessary since that section by
express reference to this one makes it clear that these sections
are in pari materia.
Minor changes in phraseology were also made.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for
"fined not more than $500".
