MEMO TO ADVISORY COMMITTEE, BY LOUIS B. SCHWARTZ 1 (January 31, 1957)

handle is hein.ali/mpc0920 and id is 1 raw text is: MEMO TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: Associate Reporter Louis B. Schwartz RE: Selected Issues Presented in the Accompanying Draft DATE: January 31, 1957 I have set forth below a selection of issues posed by the enclosed material on Chapter 208. A. Organization and Scope. 1. Does the tentative Table of Contents embody a sound conception of scope and arrangement? E.g.r - (a) Are we right in planning to go beyond strictly govern- mental offenses in the present chapter, treating as essintially the same or closely related problems: counterfeiting money and forgery of commercial instru- ments; alteration of ,government records and alteration of records of banks, insurance companies, and other private Corporations; bribery of public officials, of political party officials, and of private business and union officials? (b) Are we right in proposing to incorporate into the Model Penal Code all immoral offenses presently found in special codes, e.g., governing elections? (c) Are we too ambitious in hoping to systematize the law of regulatory offenses? See proposed Section 208.42. 2. Would it be preferable to break up Section 208.10 into separate sections dealing with bribery and coercion? Separate sec- bions on official and political behavior?
