                 TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
 
                             PART I--CRIMES
 
                    CHAPTER 103--ROBBERY AND BURGLARY
 
Sec. 2112. Personal property of United States

    Whoever robs or attempts to rob another of any kind or description 
of personal property belonging to the United States, shall be imprisoned 
not more than fifteen years.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 796; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXII, 
Sec. 320903(a)(2), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2124.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 99 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, 
Sec. 46, 35 Stat. 1097).
    That portion of said section 99 relating to felonious taking was 
omitted as covered by section 641 of this title.
    The punishment by fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not 
more than 10 years, or both, was changed to harmonize with section 2111 
of this title. The 15-year penalty is not excessive for an offense of 
this type.
    Minor verbal change was made.


                               Amendments

    1994--Pub. L. 103-322 inserted ``or attempts to rob'' after 
``robs''.
