HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
1948 ACT
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 467a (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 288A, as added Aug. 5, 1939, ch. 434, 53 Stat. 1205).
Words "upon any waters or vessel within the special maritime and
territorial jurisdiction of the United States" were substituted for
"upon the high seas or on any waters within the admiralty and
maritime jurisdiction of the United States and out of the
jurisdiction of any particular State, or within the admiralty and
maritime jurisdiction of the United States and out of the
jurisdiction of any particular State on board any vessel belonging
in whole or in part to the United States or any citizen thereof or
to any corporation created by or under the laws of the United
States, or of any State, Territory, or District thereof", near
beginning of section. The deleted words are not necessary in view
of definitive section 7 of this title.
Words "whatsoever with intent to defraud" were omitted as being
included in the preceding term "false pretenses".
The punishment provision was revised to include a misdemeanor
punishment (not more than $1,000 or one year, or both) where the
offense involves $100 or less. (See reviser's notes under sections
641 and 645 of this title.)
