Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 662 (R.S. § 5278).

Last sentence as to costs and expenses to be paid by the demanding authority was incorporated in section 3195 of this title.

Word “District” was inserted twice to make section equally applicable to fugitives found in the District of Columbia.

“Thirty days” was substituted for “six months” since, in view of modern conditions, the smaller time is ample for the demanding authority to act.

Minor changes were made in phraseology.

1996—Puspan. L. 104–294 inserted comma after “District” in section catchline and in two places in text.
