Can a defendant be convicted of conspiracy to commit an act of attempted murder under section 846 of the Criminal Code?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Touw, 769 F.2d 571 (9th Cir. 1985):

In United States v. Taylor, 716 F.2d 701, 712 n. 6 (9th Cir.1983), we noted that section 846 is ambiguous and that punishment for both attempt and conspiracy may be inappropriate if the defendants engaged in a single course of action. We reversed the attempt convictions on other grounds.
