Private Law 83–928

That the Secretary

Rocco Forgione.

of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Rocco Forgione, Waterbury, Connecticut, the sum of $94.56. The payment of such sum shall be in full settlement of all claims of the said Rocco Forgione against the United States for refund of income tax for the calendar year 1941 (plus penalty and interest thereon) which he was required to pay, on April 19, 1944, in spite of the fact that his income tax for such calendar year had been fully paid on March 13, 1942. The records of the Bureau of Internal Revenue erroneously failed to show the original payment of such tax, and the said Rocco Forgione was unable to locate the receipt for such original payment until the time for filing claim for refund had expired: Provided, That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
