Editorial Notes
REFERENCES IN TEXT
This chapter, referred to in text, was in the original
‘‘This Act’’ meaning the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, act June 6, 1934, ch. 404. The act was divided into
two titles as follows: ‘‘Title I—Regulation of Securities
Exchanges’’ and ‘‘Title II—Amendments to Securities
Act of 1933.’’ This section was section 1 of title I of the
Act, which title, as amended, is set out as sections 78a
to 78d–5, 78e to 78l, 78m, 78m–1, 78n to 78o, 78o–3, 78o–4,
78o–5 to 78o–7, 78o–10 to 78u–6, 78v to 78dd–1, 78ee to 78hh,
78mm, and 78pp to 78rr of this title. Sections 78kk, 78ll,
78nn, 78oo, and 78rr of this title, which were directed to
be added at the end of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, have been treated in the Code as added to title I
of the Act to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
See Codification notes set out under those sections.
Title II of the act amended or repealed sections 77b, 77c,
77d, 77e, 77j, 77k, 77m, 77o, and 77s of this title, and
added former sections 78ii and 78jj of this title. For
complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Ta-
bles.
