    The Controlled Substances Act, referred to in subsec. (a)(1), is 
title II of Pub. L. 91-513, Oct. 27, 1970, 84 Stat. 1242, as amended. 
Part C of the Act is classified generally to part C (Sec. 821 et seq.)

classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out 
under section 801 of Title 21 and Tables.
    Section 953 of title 21, referred to in subsec. (a)(2), was in the 
original ``section 1003 of the Controlled Substances Act'', and was 
translated as reading ``section 1003 of the Controlled Substances Import 
and Export Act'', meaning section 1003 of title III of Pub. L. 91-513, 
to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
