This section consolidates sections
55 and
59 of title
18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
In second paragraph, words “or member of the Armed Forces of the United States” were substituted for “soldier, sailor, or marine” so as to cover those auxiliaries which are now component parts of the Army and Navy.
Changes in phraseology were also made.
Amendments
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $5,000”.
