TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 11
risdiction of the United States’’ have been added. Thus
the jurisdictional limitation will be preserved in all
sections of said chapter 11 describing an offense.
Enumeration of names of Great Lakes was omitted as
unnecessary.
Other minor changes were necessary now that the
section defines a term rather than the place of commis-
sion of crime or offense; however, the extent of the spe-
cial jurisdiction as originally enacted has been care-
fully followed.
