CODIFICATION
The original text of par. (2) contained a reference to the
District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia.
Act June 25, 1948, as amended by act May 24, 1949, substituted
"United States District Court for the District of Columbia" for
"District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia".
However, the words "United States District Court for the District
of Columbia" have now been deleted entirely as superfluous in view
of section 132(a) of Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure,
which states that "There shall be in each judicial district a
district court which shall be a court of record known as the United
States District Court for the district", and section 88 of Title 28
which states that "the District of Columbia constitutes one
judicial district".
AMENDMENTS
1980 - Par. (4). Pub. L. 96-245 inserted provisions authorizing
service by certified mail.
1970 - Par. (3). Pub. L. 91-452 struck out par. (3) which related
to the immunity from prosecution of any individual compelled to
testify or produce evidence after claiming his privilege against
self-incrimination.
1947 - Act June 23, 1947, restated section with addition of
provisions requiring the issuance of subpenas as a matter of course
on the request of any party.
