(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 797; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, § 601(a)(8), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3498.)

## Notes

||
Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 316 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 193, 35 Stat. 1125). Reference to persons aiding or assisting was deleted as unnecessary because such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title. Minor changes were made in phraseology.
