For the relief of the Willmore Engineering Company.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of American Congress assembled,
That the Secretary of Commerce and Willmore Engineering Company each shall appoint an arbitrator, and they together shall appoint a third arbitrator, these three to serve as a Board of Arbitrators who shall, after having heard the evidence, determine and certify to the Secretary of the Treasury any amount which in their judgment would be required to satisfy any obligations of the United States to the Willmore Engineering Company for services and expenses in connection with its contract and the breach of it, if any, with the United States for production of winches for transport vessels necessary to the prosecution of World War II, pursuant to special emergency authorizations and commitments under war powers, for which it is alleged the United States has failed to provide adequate payment. To the extent not inconsistent
with this Act, the provisions of Title 9 of the United States Code shall be applicable to proceedings under this Act. Any cost arising in the arbitration of these claims shall be fixed by the arbitrators and assessed equally between the Government and the claimants.
