## Opinion text

*1286 NORRIS, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
The question raised by this appeal is whether the appellants’ conduct constituted a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242 . I concur in the result on the basis of the analysis in Judge Pregerson’s opinion that the statutory language, when viewed in light of the legislative history, leaves no doubt that Congress intended to make the conduct of the appellants a federal crime.
