Page 303 TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE § 1014 1 So in original. 2 See References in Text note below. Three sections were consolidated with changes of phraseology and arrangement necessary to effect con- solidation. Words ‘‘upon conviction thereof’’, in each section were omitted as surplusage since punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction. The provisions of section 1424 of title 42, U.S.C., 1940 ed., The Public Health and Welfare, relating to con- spiracy were omitted as inconsistent with the general conspiracy statute, section 371 of this title, both as to punishment and allegation and proof of an overt act. (See reviser’s note under section 493 of this title.) Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $1,000’’ in last par. 1967—Pub. L. 90–19 substituted ‘‘Department of Hous- ing and Urban Development’’ for ‘‘Public Housing Ad- ministration’’ in section catchline and text, and ‘‘De- partment’’ for ‘‘Administration’’ wherever appearing in text. 1951—Act Oct. 31, 1951, substituted ‘‘Public Housing Administration’’ for ‘‘United States Housing Author- ity’’ in section catchline and text, and ‘‘Administra- tion’’ for ‘‘Authority’’, wherever appearing in text. § 1013.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 752; Pub. L. 97–297, § 4(a), Oct. 12, 1982, 96 Stat. 1318; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §§ 330004(8), 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2141, 2147.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking (July 17, 1916, ch. 245, § 31, fifth paragraph, 39 Stat. 384; July 17, 1916, ch. 245, § 211(g), as added Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, § 2, 42 Stat. 1461; Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, title II, § 216(g), 42 Stat. 1473). This section condenses and simplifies sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, each of which contained similar provisions and similar language. The punishment provisions of all three sections were the same. References to ‘‘chapter’’ and ‘‘subchapter’’ were omit- ted and words describing the various types of banks or organizations to which said sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, related, were inserted in lieu. This necessitated some rephras- ing and transposition of phrases, but without change of meaning or substance. Words ‘‘upon conviction’’ which were contained in sections 1127 and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, were omitted as surplusage, because pun- ishment cannot be imposed until after conviction. Changes were made in phraseology. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1994—Pub. L. 103–322, § 330016(1)(G), substituted ‘‘fined under this title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $500’’. Pub. L. 103–322, § 330004(8), struck out ‘‘, or by any Na- tional Agricultural Credit Corporation’’ after ‘‘credit bank or banks’’. 1982—Pub. L. 97–297 struck out ‘‘, or by any joint- stock land bank or banks’’ after ‘‘issued by any Federal land bank or banks’’. § 1014.
