acquittal or conviction in a prosecution for a specific crime under the 
laws of the United States shall bar a proceeding for criminal contempt, 
which is based upon the same act or omission and which arises under the 
provisions of this Act; and an acquittal or conviction in a proceeding 
for criminal contempt, which arises under the provisions of this Act, 
shall bar a prosecution for a specific crime under the laws of the 
United States based upon the same act or omission.
