Page 454 TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 1740 Words ‘‘and its Territories and Possessions’’ were added after ‘‘United States’’, near the end of the sec- tion, in view of provisions of section 688 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for the admission of records and books in any court or office in any other State, Territory, or ‘‘in any such country.’’ (Changed to ‘‘Possession’’ in this section.)
