      Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 118, 254 (Mar. 4,
    1909, ch. 321, Sec. 62, 35 Stat. 1100; May 18, 1934, ch. 299, Sec.
    2, 48 Stat. 781).
      This section consolidates sections 118 and 254 with changes in
    phraseology and substance necessary to effect the consolidation.
      Also the words "Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of
    Agriculture" appearing in section 118 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940
    ed., were inserted in enumeration of Federal officers and employees
    in section 1114 of this title.
      The punishment provision of section 254 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940
    ed., was adopted as the latest expression of Congressional intent.
    This consolidation eliminates a serious incongruity in punishment
    and application.

                                AMENDMENTS

      Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 107-273, Sec. 11008(b)(2), substituted "20"
    for "ten".
      1996 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 104-132 inserted "(including a weapon
    intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason
    of a defective component)" after "deadly or dangerous weapon".
      1994 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 320101(a)(1), inserted
    ", where the acts in violation of this section constitute only
    simple assault, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
    than one year, or both, and in all other cases," after "shall" in
    concluding provisions.
      Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 103-322, Sec. 320101(a)(2), inserted "or
    inflicts bodily injury" after "weapon".
      1988 - Pub. L. 100-690 amended text generally. Prior to
    amendment, text read as follows:
      "Whoever forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes,
    intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section
    1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the
    performance of his official duties, shall be fined not more than
    $5,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
      "Whoever, in the commission of any such acts uses a deadly or
    dangerous weapon, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or
    imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

                       SHORT TITLE OF 2002 AMENDMENT

      Based on section 255 of title 22, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Foreign
    Relations and Intercourse (R.S. Sec. 4062).
      Punishment provision was rewritten to make it more definite by
    substituting a maximum of $5,000 in lieu of the words "fined at the
    discretion of the court." As thus revised this provision conforms
    with the first punishment provision of section 111 of this title.
    So, also, the greater punishment provided by the second paragraph
    of section 111 was added to this section for offenses involving the
    use of dangerous weapons.

    970, 1116, and 1201 of this title, and enacting provisions set out
    as notes under this section] may be cited as the 'Act for the

    the field in which its provisions operate to the exclusion of the
    laws of any State, Commonwealth, territory, possession, or the
    District of Columbia, on the same subject matter, nor to relieve
    any person of any obligation imposed by any law of any State,

    enforcement powers to take appropriate action, such as effecting

    States.
      "The Congress finds, however, that harassment, intimidation,
    obstruction, coercion, and acts of violence committed against
    foreign officials or their family members in the United States or
    against official guests of the United States adversely affect the
    foreign relations of the United States.
      "Accordingly, this legislation is intended to afford the United
    States jurisdiction concurrent with that of the several States to
    proceed against those who by such acts interfere with its conduct
    of foreign affairs."

      Section 3 of Pub. L. 92-539 provided that: "Nothing contained in
    this Act [see Short Title of 1972 Amendment note above] shall be
    construed to indicate an intent on the part of Congress to occupy
    the field in which its provisions operate to the exclusion of the
    laws of any State, Commonwealth, territory, possession, or the
    District of Columbia on the same subject matter, nor to relieve any
    person of any obligation imposed by any law of any State,
    Commonwealth, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia."
