HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 148, and on sections
264(x) and 986 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking
(Dec. 23, 1913, ch. 6, Sec. 12B, subsection (x), as added June 16,
1933, ch. 89, Sec. 8, 48 Stat. 178; July 17, 1916, ch. 245, Sec.
31, sixth paragraph, 39 Stat. 382 (384); Dec. 11, 1926, ch. 2, Sec.
3, 44 Stat. 918; Aug. 23, 1935, ch. 614, Sec. 101, 49 Stat. 684,
703).
Section consolidates said section 148 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940
ed., and said sections 264(x) and 986 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940
ed., Banks and Banking.
Said section 148 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and
Banking, was concerned with offenses relating to counterfeiting and
passing, etc., of transportation requests and to the unlawful
possession or making of plates, stones, etc., used in making such
requests, which were defined in sections 146 and 147 of said title
18, now sections 508 and 509 of this title.
Said sections 264(x) and 986 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks
and Banking, were concerned with various offenses as defined in
sections 981-985, 987 of said title 12, relating to Federal land
banks, joint-stock land banks and national farm loan associations,
and as defined in section 264 of said title 12 relating to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All of the provisions of
said sections 981-985, 987 of said title 12, and the criminal
provisions of said section 264 of said title 12, were transferred
to this title where they were, in some instances, consolidated with
similar provisions from other sections. Such provisions are now
incorporated in sections 218, 221, 433, 493, 657, 709, 1006, 1007,
1011, 1013, 1014, 1907, and 1909 of this title. In most instances,
these sections, as the result of the consolidations, relate to
other organizations as well as those mentioned above, but, by
enumerating the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal land
banks, joint-stock land banks, and national farm loan associations
in this section, the powers of the Secret Service are not broadened
beyond what they were in said sections 264(x) and 986 of said title
12.
In this section, the wording of said section 148 of title 18,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., and section 986 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Banks and Banking reading "The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby
authorized to direct and use the Secret Service Division of the
Treasury Department" was adopted, rather than the wording of said
section 264(x) of said title 12, which read "The Secret Service
Division of the Treasury Department is authorized."
Words "of the United States marshal having jurisdiction",
following "custody" in all three of said sections, were omitted as
surplusage.
Changes were made in phraseology.
