Id. at 554, 109 S.Ct. at 2009 (citations omitted); cf. United States v. Wilson, --- U.S. ----, ----, 112 S.Ct. 1351, 1355, 117 L.Ed.2d 593 (1992) ("We candidly acknowledge that we do not know what happened to the reference to the Attorney General during the revision [to the statute].... [B]ecause any other interpretation would require us to stretch the meaning of the words that [the statute] now includes, we think it likely that the former reference to the Attorney General was simply lost in the shuffle.").
