    (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 946.)
                       HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES                   
      Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 685, 686 (R.S. Secs.
    903, 904; Jan. 31, 1879, ch. 39, Secs. 2, 3, 20 Stat. 277).
      A provision of section 686 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
    relating to allowances to clerks and United States attorneys for
    their services, and disbursements incidental to restoring lost
    records under such section was deleted as obsolete, in view of
    sections 508, 509, and 604 of this title, placing such officers on
    a salary basis and providing for their expenses.
      Words "And in all cases where any of the files, papers, or
    records of any court of the United States have been or shall be
    lost or destroyed, the files, records and papers which, pursuant to
    law, may have been or may be restored or supplied in place of such
    records, files, and papers, shall have the same force and effect,
    to all intents and purposes, as the originals thereof would have
    been entitled to," at the end of section 685 of title 28, U.S.C.,
    1940 ed., were omitted as fully covered by the remainder of this
    section and by section 1734 of this title.
      Words "or agency of the United States" were substituted for "of
    the Government" so as to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to the
    scope of this section. See definitive section 451 of this title.
      The phrase "so far as the judges of such courts respectively
    shall deem it essential to the interests of the United States that
    such records and files be restored or supplied," was omitted as
    unnecessary.
      Changes were made in phraseology.
