Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * an essential element of the offense of making a false, fictitious and fraudulent statement as charged in [Count IV] of the Indictment is that the statement be “material.” In determining whether such a statement is material, the test is whether it has a natural tendancy to influence or was capable of influencing agency action * * *. If you find beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant’s statement * * * had a natural tendency to influence or was capable of influencing the agency to which it was made * * * to pay defendant on the basis of his statement, then you should find that such statement was material.”
