MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. McCue, 301 F.2d 452 (2nd Cir. 1962):

Analysis of the Section reveals no ambiguity. The elements of the offense are 1) a statement, 2) falsity, 3) that the false statement be made "knowingly and willfully," and 4) that the false statement be made in a "matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States." See United States v. Silver, 235 F.2d 375 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 352 U.S. 880, 77 S.Ct. 102, 1 L.Ed.2d 80 (1956).
