HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 452, 454, 567 (Mar. 4,

1909, ch. 321, Sec. 273, 275, 330, 35 Stat. 1143, 1152).

Section consolidates the punishment provision of sections 454 and

567 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with section 452 of title 18,

U.S.C., 1940 ed.

The provision of said section 454 for the death penalty for first

degree murder was consolidated with section 567 of said title 18,

by adding the words ''unless the jury qualifies its verdict by

adding thereto 'without capital punishment' in which event he shall

be sentenced to imprisonment for life''.

The punishment for second degree murder was changed and the

phrase ''for any term of years or for life'' was substituted for

the words ''not less than ten years and may be imprisoned for

life''. This change conforms to a uniform policy of omitting the

minimum punishment.

Said section 567 was not included in section 2031 of this title

since the rewritten punishment provision for rape removes the

necessity for a qualified verdict.

The special maritime and territorial jurisdiction provision was

added in view of definitive section 7 of this title.

AMENDMENTS

1994 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 103-322 amended second par.

generally. Prior to amendment, second par. read as follows:

''Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree, shall suffer

death unless the jury qualifies its verdict by adding thereto

'without capital punishment', in which event he shall be sentenced

to imprisonment for life;''.

1988 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 100-690 inserted a comma after

''arson''.

1986 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 99-646 and Pub. L. 99-654 amended

subsec. (a) identically, substituting ''aggravated sexual abuse or

sexual abuse'' for '', rape''.

1984 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98-473 inserted ''escape, murder,

kidnapping, treason, espionage, sabotage,'' after ''arson''.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1986 AMENDMENTS

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

1948 ACT

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 253 (May 18, 1934, ch.

299, Sec. 1, 48 Stat. 780; Feb. 8, 1936, ch. 40, 49 Stat. 1105;

No. II, Sec. 4(f), eff. July 1, 1939, 4 F.R. 2731, 53 Stat. 1433;

June 13, 1940, ch. 359, 54 Stat. 391).

The section was extended to include United States judges,

attorneys and their assistants, and officers of Federal, penal and

correctional institutions in view of the obvious desirability of

such protective legislation.

Employees of the Bureau of Animal Industry have been included in

this section to complete the revision of section 118 of title 18,

U.S.C., 1940 ed., which was consolidated with the assault

provisions of section 254 of said title 18 and is now section 111

of this title. There seemed no sound reason for including such

officers in the protection against assaults but excluding them from

the homicide sections.

For like reasons the section was broadened to include officers or

employees of the Secret Service or of the Bureau of Narcotics.

Changes in phraseology were made.

1949 ACT

This section (section 24) amends section 1114 of title 18,

U.S.C., to conform more closely with the original statute from

which it was derived.

years''.

of the Army Corps of Engineers assigned to perform investigations,

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 461 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.

321, Sec. 282, 35 Stat. 1144).

Section restores the intent of the original enactments, R.S. Sec.

5344, and act Mar. 3, 1905, ch. 1454, Sec. 5, 33 Stat. 1025, and

makes this section one of general application. In the Criminal

Code of 1909, by placing it in chapter 11, limited to places within

the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United

States, such original intent was inadvertently lost as indicated by

the entire absence of report or comment on such limitation.

1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ''fined under this title'' for

''fined not more than $10,000'' in two places.
