PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

SCOPE OF REVISION

The source material of this revision was the Judicial Code of 1911 constituting, in part, title 28 of the United States Code. To this were added appropriate sections from other titles which could be transferred without impairing the framework of the official United States Code prepared by the former Committee on Revision of the Laws of the House and enacted by Congress in 1926.

This revision includes all applicable laws in effect March 10, 1947. Before actual revision was begun a scientific plan was assembled. This included:

1. The complete text of title 28, United States Code, 1940 edition, and the latest supplement thereto.

2. Pertinent provisions from other titles of the code.

3. Complete text of original acts set out in the Statutes at Large. 4. Applicable constructions by the courts.

5. Notes based upon a careful examination of the Code of Federal Regulations and law reviews.

6. Exhaustive historical notes.

7. Notes on the Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Criminal Procedure promulgated by the Supreme Court.
