(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 797; Pub. L. 98473, title II, § 223(d), Oct. 12, 1984, 98 Stat. 2028; Pub. L. 101647, title XXXV, § 3562, Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4927; Pub. L. 103322, title XXXII, §§ 320602, 320903(a)(3), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2115, 2124; Pub. L. 104294, title VI, § 604(b)(17), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3507.)

Notes

Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 320 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 197, 35 Stat. 1126; Aug. 26, 1935, ch. 694, 49 Stat. 867). The attention of Congress is directed to the mandatory minimum punishment provisions of sections 2113(e) and 2114 of this title. These were left unchanged because of the controversial question involved. Such legislative attempts to control the discretion of the sentencing judge are contrary to the opinions of experienced criminologists and criminal law experts. They are calculated to work manifest injustice in many cases. Minor changes were made in phraseology.
