Historical and Revision Notes Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §147 (Dec. 11, 1926, ch. 2, §2, 44 Stat. 918). References to persons causing, procuring, aiding or assisting were omitted as unnecessary as such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title. Words "upon conviction" in last paragraph were omitted as surplusage since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured. Minor changes in phraseology were also made.

Editorial Notes

Amendments 1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $5,000" in last par.
