§798A — Title 18 Crimes and Criminal Procedure | U.S. Code

Summary

Keeps the rules and penalties in section 794, as already changed by earlier laws, in effect after the war. Those rules will stay in force until six months after the national emergency proclaimed by the President on December 16, 1950 ends, unless Congress, by a resolution passed by both Houses, ends them sooner. Any act that would be punished under section 794 in wartime will be punished the same way if it is done during that extended period.
