Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 5810446 App.:1223(f).June 29, 1936, ch. 858, title VIII, § 805(f), 49 Stat. 2014; Pub. L. 97–31, § 12(122), Aug. 6, 1981, 95 Stat. 164. The words “in force under this chapter” and “forthwith” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor” are omitted because section 3559 of title 18 provides for the classification of offenses. See the revision notes for section 58109 of the revised title.
