                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 839 (R.S. Sec. 986).
    Words ``or in the District of Columbia'' were added on the authority 
of 14 Op. Atty. Gen. 384, declaring that, under this section, a writ of 
execution in favor of the United States, obtained from a Federal court 
in any State, could be executed in the District of Columbia. (See, also, 
section 1963 of this title.)
    Changes in phraseology were made.
