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.

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]
[CITE: 18USC1001]
TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 47--FRAUD AND FALSE STATEMENTS
Sec. 1001. Statements or entries generally
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully--
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;

(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.

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.
