Remarks :
Bill:
The attached bill has come to my attention.
It would expand 18 U .S .C . 1001 in a manner which
was not apparently intended by the original
drafters. (See attached cy of statute) It would
appear to prohibit among other things, cover
arrangements. Have we commented on this or
similar bills in the past? Should we?
If you think action is n c)ssar , lease
advise.

Reviser's Note. Based on Title 18, U.
S.C., 1940 ed., $ 80 (Afar. 4, 1909, c. 321,
9 35, 35 Stat. 1095 [derived from R.S. ?
5435; May 30, 1908 c. 255, 35 Stilt. 5553]
;
Oct. 23, 1918, c. 194, 40 Stat. 1015; Juno
18, 1934, c. 587, 48 Stat. 996; Apr. 4, 1938,
c. 69, 52 Stat. 197).
Section 80 of Title 18, U.S.C., 1910 ed.,
was divided into two parts.
The provision relating to false claims
was incorporated in section 287 of this
title.
Reference to persons causing or pro-
curing was omitted as unnecessary in
view of definition of "principal" in sec-
tion 2 of this title.
Words "or any corporation in which
the United States of America Is a stock-
holder" in said section 80 were omitted
as unnecessary in view of definition of
"agency" in section 6 of this title.
In addition to minor changes of phra-
seology, the maximum term of imprison-
ment was changed from 10 to 5 years to
be consistent with comparable sections.

this title.) 80th Congress House Report
