Application Note:
1. Within the limits set by the guidelines, the term of probation should
be sufficient, but not more than necessary, to accomplish the court’s
specific objectives in imposing the term of probation. The terms of probation
set forth in this section are those provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3561(b).
