HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

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

420h (Dec. 24, 1942, ch. 823, §§ 1, 2, 3, 56 Stat. 1087). This section consolidates the offense, penalty, and de-

finitive 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 unneces-

sary in view of the phraseology of the revised section,

the context of which makes clear the meaning of den-

tures referred to.

The definition of ‘‘Territory’’ was omitted as unnec-

essary. The revised section makes clear the places in-

cluded in the application of the section without the use

of definitions.

The definition of ‘‘Interstate Commerce’’ was like-

wise 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.

2002—Pub. L. 107–273 struck out ‘‘, the Canal Zone’’

after ‘‘the District of Columbia’’ in first par.

title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $1,000’’ in last par.
