(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, Sec. 2, 

70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 87-486, June 19, 1962, 76 Stat. 103; Pub. L. 103-

322, title XXXIII, Sec. 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 10, 11, 13 (June 28, 

1940, ch. 439, title I, Secs. 2, 3, 5, 54 Stat. 670, 671).

    Section consolidates sections 10, 11, and 13 of title 18, U.S.C., 

1940 ed. Section 13 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which contained the 

punishment provisions applicable to sections 10 and 11 of title 18, 

U.S.C., 1940 ed., was combined with section 11 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 

ed., and added to this section.

    In first paragraph, words ``the Government of the United States or 

the government of any State, Territory, District or possession thereof, 

or the government of any political subdivision therein'' were 

substituted for ``any government in the United States''.

    In second and third paragraphs, word ``such'' was inserted after 

``any'' and before ``government'', and words ``in the United States'' 

which followed ``government'' were omitted.

    In view of these changes, the provisions of subsection (b) of 

section 10 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which defined the term 

``government in the United States'' were omitted as unnecessary.

    Reference to conspiracy to commit any of the prohibited acts was 

omitted as covered by the general conspiracy provision, incorporated in 

section 371 of this title. (See reviser's note under that section.)

    Words ``upon conviction thereof'' which preceded ``be fined'' were 

omitted as surplusage, as punishment cannot be imposed until a 

conviction is secured.

    The phraseology was considerably changed to effect consolidation but 

without any change of substance.

                               Amendments

    1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for 

``fined not more than $20,000'' in fourth and fifth pars.

    1962--Pub. L. 87-486 defined the terms ``organizes'' and 

``organize''.

    1956--Act July 24, 1956, substituted ``$20,000'' for ``$10,000'', 

and ``twenty years'' for ``ten years'' in the paragraph prescribing
