(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 972.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 870 (R.S. Sec. 1001;
Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Secs. 117, 289, 36 Stat. 1131, 1167; Jan.
31, 1928, ch. 14, Sec. 1, 45 Stat. 54; June 19, 1934, ch. 653, Sec.
7, 48 Stat. 1109).
Section 870 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., applied only to the
Supreme Court and district courts. The revised section applies to
all courts.
Words "process or the institution or prosecution of any
proceeding" were substituted for "appeal, or other process in law,
admiralty, or equity."
Word "agency" was substituted for "any corporation all the stock
of which is beneficially owned by the United States, either
directly or indirectly", in view of the creation of many
independent governmental agencies since the enactment of the
original law on which this section is based.
Changes were made in phraseology.
