§ 1002. Possession of false papers to defraud

Whoever, knowingly and with intent to de-
fraud the United States, or any agency thereof,
possesses any false, altered, forged, or counter-

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 749; Pub. L.
103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994,
108 Stat. 2147.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 74 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, § 30, 35 Stat. 1094).
Words ‘‘or any agency thereof’’ after ‘‘United States’’
and word ‘‘agency’’ after ‘‘any’’ and before ‘‘officer,’’
were inserted to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to
scope of section. (See definition of ‘‘agency’’ in section
6 of this title.)
The maximum fine of ‘‘$10,000’’ was substituted for
‘‘$500’’ in order to conform punishment provisions to
those of comparable sections. (See section 1001 of this
title.)
Minor verbal change was made.
Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this
title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $10,000’’.
