HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 420f, 420g, and 420h

(Dec. 24, 1942, ch. 823, Sec. 1, 2, 3, 56 Stat. 1087).

This section consolidates the offense, penalty, and definitive

provisions of sections 420f, 420g, and 420h of title 18, U.S.C.,

1940 ed., as subsections (a) and (b).

The definition of ''denture'' was omitted as unnecessary in view

of the phraseology of the revised section, the context of which

makes clear the meaning of dentures referred to.

The definition of ''Territory'' was omitted as unnecessary. The

revised section makes clear the places included in the application

of the section without the use of definitions.

The definition of ''Interstate Commerce'' was likewise omitted as

unnecessary in view of definition of interstate commerce in section

10 of this title.

Changes of phraseology and arrangement were made, but without

change of substance.

AMENDMENTS

2002 - Pub. L. 107-273 struck out '', the Canal Zone'' after

''the District of Columbia'' in first par.

1996 - Pub. L. 104-294 substituted ''fined under this title'' for

''fined not more than $1,000'' in last par.
