                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 691, 692, (R.S. 
Secs. 5537, 5538).
    Said section 691 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is superseded by 
sections 753b and 753c of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which are 
incorporated in sections 4002, 4003 and 4042 of this title.
    This section is rewritten to retain the intent of section 692 of 
title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which was to insure a safekeeping of United 
States prisoners until their commitment or confinement in Federal penal 
institutions. The language conforms with that of said sections 692 and 
753b.
    Minor changes were made in phraseology.
