                                 ______
                                 

                        LEAHY AMENDMENT NO. 1628

  Mr. SESSIONS (for Mr. Leahy) proposed an amendment to the bill (H.R. 
1487) to provide off-budget treatment for one-half of the receipts and 
disbursements of the land and water conservation fund, and to provide 
that the amount appropriated from the fund for a fiscal year for 
Federal purposes may not exceed the amount appropriated for that fiscal 
year for financial assistance to the States for State purposes; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC.   . FALSE ADVERTISING OR MISUSE OF NAME TO INDICATE 
                   UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE.

       Section 709 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by 
     inserting after the thirteenth undesignated paragraph the 
     following:
       ``Whoever, except with the written permission of the 
     Director of the United States Marshals Service, knowingly 
     uses the words `United States Marshals Service', `U.S. 
     Marshals Service', `United States Marshal', `U.S. Marshal', 
     `U.S.M.S.', or any colorable imitation of any such words, or 
     the likeness of a United States Marshals Service badge, logo, 
     or insignia on any item of apparel, in connection with any 
     advertisement, circular, book, pamphlet, software, or other 
     publication, or any play, motion picture, broadcast, 
     telecast, or other production, in a manner that is reasonably 
     calculated to convey the impression that the wearer of the 
     item of apparel is acting pursuant to the legal authority of 
     the United States Marshals Service, or to convey the 
     impression that such advertisement, circular, book, pamphlet, 
     software, or other publication, or such play, motion picture, 
     broadcast, telecast, or other production, is approved, 
     endorsed, or authorized by the United States Marshals 
     Service;''.
