                               CODIFICATION                           
      As originally enacted section contained references to the Supreme
    Court of the District of Columbia. Act June 25, 1936, substituted
    "the district court of the United States for the District of
    Columbia" for "the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia", and
    act June 25, 1948, as amended by act May 24, 1949, substituted
    "United States District Court for the District of Columbia" for
    "district court of the United States for the District of Columbia".
    Pub. L. 100-181 struck out reference to the United States District
    Court for the District of Columbia. Previously, such words had been
    editorially eliminated as superfluous in view of section 132(a) of
    Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure, which provides that
    "There shall be in each judicial district a district court which
    shall be a court of record known as the United States District
    Court for the district", and section 88 of Title 28 which provides
    that "the District of Columbia constitutes one judicial district".

      1987 - Pub. L. 100-181 struck out ", the United States District
    Court for the District of Columbia," after "district courts of the
    United States" and substituted "sections 1254, 1291, 1292, and 1294
    of title 28" for "sections 128 and 240 of the Judicial Code, as
    amended (U.S.C., title 28, secs. 225 and 347)". See Codification
