Abstract
One of the more controversial provisions in the revised criminal code proposed in the Ninety-Sixth Congress was the definition of the crime of extortion. Specifically, a difference of opinion arose over whether the federal crime of extortion should include acts occurring during a legitimate labor dispute which are designed to obtain legitimate employment benefits. Present law exempts such acts from prosecution as extortion.
