Yates Vs U.S. Case
In 18 U.S.C.S. 1519, the phrase "tangible thing" is defined in context by the phrases "falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record or document." The United States Supreme Court depends on the dictum noscitur a sociis, which states that a word is known by the company it maintains, to prevent assigning one term a meaning that is contradictory with the others around it and therefore giving the Acts of Congress an unexpected breadth. The last term in a list that starts with "any record" or "document" is "tangible object." Therefore, the phrase should be understood to apply specifically to the subset of tangible things involving records and documents, i.e., items used to record or preserve information, rather than to any actual object.
