Private Law 84–369

That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to the Elkay Manufacturing Company, of Chicago, Illinois, the sum of $5,190.15. The payment of such sum shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of the said Elkay Manufacturing Company against the United States for additional compensation under the contract numbered SAPH 55725 (NIH), between such company and the National Institutes of Health, for the construction of certain stainless steel dog and monkey cages. Such sums plus the amount of compensation heretofore received by the Elkay Manufacturing Company represents the actual costs incurred by it in manufacturing such cages, it having submitted its bid under the erroneous impression that each unit to be manufactured was to consist of only one cage, whereas in fact each unit was to consist of two cages: 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.
