Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 456 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 277, 35 Stat. 1143).
Words “within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States” were added in view of definitive section 7 of this title, and section was rearranged to more clearly express intent of existing law.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
