Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 456 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 277, 35 Stat. 1143).
Words ``within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of
the United States'' were added in view of definitive section 7 of this
title, and section was rearranged to more clearly express intent of
existing law.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
Amendments
1996--Pub. L. 104-132 substituted ``seven years'' for ``three
years''.
1990--Pub. L. 101-647 struck out final period at end.

murder be imprisoned not more than twenty years or fined under this
title, or both, and for an attempt to commit manslaughter be imprisoned
not more than three years or fined under this title, or both.'' for
``shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than three
years, or both''.
