REFERENCES IN TEXT
Section 1988 of this title, referred to in subsec. (d)(1), (4),
was in the original a reference to section 2 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States (42 U.S.C. 1988), and has been
translated as reading section 722 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States to reflect the probable intent of Congress. Section 2
of the Revised Statutes, which defined the term "county", was
repealed and reenacted as section 2 of Title 1, General Provisions,
by act July 30, 1947, ch. 388, 61 Stat. 633, 640.
AMENDMENTS

1994 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 20416(a)(1),
