§ 203. Prospective Federal Jurisdiction.

(1) Inchoate Offenses. Federal jurisdiction exists with respect to attempt, solicitation or conspiracy when a circumstance giving rise to federal jurisdiction over such inchoate offense has occurred or would occur if the principal offense were committed.

(2) Completed Offenses. Federal jurisdiction over a completed offense exists, although no circumstance otherwise giving rise to federal jurisdiction has yet occurred, if the actor took a substantial step in connection with such offense designed or likely to establish federal jurisdiction.
