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.

-STATUTE-

(a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, a preliminary

examination shall be held within the time set by the judge or

determine whether there is probable cause to believe that an

offense has been committed and that the arrested person has

committed it.

(b) The date for the preliminary examination shall be fixed by

the judge or magistrate judge at the initial appearance of the

arrested person. Except as provided by subsection (c) of this

section, or unless the arrested person waives the preliminary

examination, such examination shall be held within a reasonable

time following initial appearance, but in any event not later than

-

(1) the tenth day following the date of the initial appearance

of the arrested person before such officer if the arrested person

is held in custody without any provision for release, or is held

in custody for failure to meet the conditions of release imposed,

or is released from custody only during specified hours of the

day; or

(2) the twentieth day following the date of the initial

appearance if the arrested person is released from custody under

any condition other than a condition described in paragraph (1)

of this subsection.

(c) With the consent of the arrested person, the date fixed by

the judge or magistrate judge for the preliminary examination may

be a date later than that prescribed by subsection (b), or may be

initially fixed therefor. In the absence of such consent of the

accused, the date fixed for the preliminary hearing may be a date

later than that prescribed by subsection (b), or may be continued

to a date subsequent to the date initially fixed therefor, only

upon the order of a judge of the appropriate United States district

court after a finding that extraordinary circumstances exist, and

that the delay of the preliminary hearing is indispensable to the

interests of justice.

(d) Except as provided by subsection (e) of this section, an

arrested person who has not been accorded the preliminary

examination required by subsection (a) within the period of time

fixed by the judge or magistrate judge in compliance with

subsections (b) and (c), shall be discharged from custody or from

the requirement of bail or any other condition of release, without

prejudice, however, to the institution of further criminal

proceedings against him upon the charge upon which he was arrested.

(e) No preliminary examination in compliance with subsection (a)

of this section shall be required to be accorded an arrested

person, nor shall such arrested person be discharged from custody

or from the requirement of bail or any other condition of release

pursuant to subsection (d), if at any time subsequent to the

initial appearance of such person before a judge or magistrate

judge and prior to the date fixed for the preliminary examination

pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) an indictment is returned or,

in appropriate cases, an information is filed against such person
