In this report, the Committee advises that the time has come to create, "for the first time since the founding of our Nation, a systematic, consistent, and comprehensive Federal criminal code to replace the hodge-podge that now exists." The bill, as reported, is designed to fulfill this purpose. The Committee is convinced that the bill, as reported, will be a rational, integrated code that is both workable and responsive to the demands of America's highly complex society. The bill is divided into six titles. Title I would amend title 18 of the U.S. Code by replacing it with a new Code. Title I is the heart of the bill and consists of a thorough revision of substantive Federal criminal law and its codification into an integrated Federal Criminal Code, and a reorganization and revision of the administrative and procedural sections in current title 18 of the U.S. Code. Titles II and III of the bill consist of amendments to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and to title 28 of the U.S. Code, respectively. Title IV of the bill contains general provisions, including those that deal with severability and the effective date of the legislation.
