103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994,

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 467 (Mar. 4, 1909,
ch. 321, § 288, 35 Stat. 1145).
Same language was inserted as in section 661 of this
title for the same reason.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in
the alternative.
The smaller punishment for an offense involving $100
or less was added. (See reviser’s notes under sections
641 and 645 of this title.)
This accords with the recommendation of United
States Attorney P. F. Herrick of Puerto Rico.
Language as to order of trial was omitted and incor-
porated in section 3435 of this title.
