You need to research a little better, FB.
That reference appears to be false claims in relations to making claims for benefits, or in criminal investigations.
"Lying" per se isn't illegal.
FirmKY
Is that what "in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States " means to you?
O-Kay.
Here is a better source: United States Code
Here is the actual law you are quoting:
From the U.S. Code Online via GPO Access
[wais.access.gpo.gov]
[Laws in effect as of January 20, 2004]
[Document not affected by Public Laws enacted between January 20, 2004 and December 23, 2004]

(2) any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate.
A lawyer, you ain't.
FirmKY
Aren't Actions committed under the circumstances (B) Perjury?
'statements, representations, writings or documents submitted by such party or counsel to a judge or magistrate in that proceeding.'
Yeah... Anything submitted to the court would have to be signed under penalty of perjury.
(C) applies to the Legislative Branch Matters.
Keep Searching for those cut-outs, though.
