Said section 762 was condensed and simplified and extended to all

penitentiaries instead of to Leavenworth only, since the section is

merely declaratory of existing law. (See section 1 of this title

classifying offenses and notes thereunder.)

18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 691, 692, (R.S. Sec.

5537, 5538).

Said section 691 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is superseded by

sections 753b and 753c of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which are

incorporated in sections 4002, 4003 and 4042 of this title.

This section is rewritten to retain the intent of section 692 of

title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which was to insure a safekeeping of

United States prisoners until their commitment or confinement in

Federal penal institutions. The language conforms with that of

said sections 692 and 753b.

Minor changes were made in phraseology.
