Isaiah Johnson.

of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Isaiah Johnson, of the District of Columbia, (1) a sum equal to the amount of compensation which would have been payable to him for service rendered as an employee of the United States during the period July 1 to July 18, 1945, had such service been rendered as a de jure rather than a de facto employee, and (2) a sum equal to the lump-sum payment for annual leave (a) which had been accumulated by him at the time of the termination of his period of service as a de jure employee of the United States on April 30, 1944, and (b) which would have been credited to the said Isaiah Johnson had his period of service as a civilian employee of the Government of the United States during the period May 1, 1944, to July 18, 1945, been de jure employment, which sums, together with the payments authorized by section 2, shall be in full satisfaction of the claims of the said Isaiah Johnson for compensation for such service rendered by him and for annual leave accumulated by him, both of which were unpaid, because of the failure of the employing agency of the Government to give him notice of his automatic separation from the service of the United States upon reaching the age of seventy under the provisions of the Civil Service
