Historical and Revision Notes Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §281 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §167, 35 Stat. 1120). Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "principal" in section 2 of this title. Changes were made in phraseology.

Editorial Notes

Amendments 1994—Pub. L. 103–322, which directed the amendment of this section by substituting "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $2,000", was executed by making the substitution for "fined not more than $3,000", to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
