Private Law 87–389

That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Specialist Five Daniel J. Hawthorne, Junior, United States Army, the sum of $266.88, in full settlement of his claims against the United States for reimbursement of travel expenses incurred by him in connection with his travel from Fort Bliss, Texas, to North Adams, Massachusetts, during the period beginning November 4, 1959, and ending December 2, 1959, both dates inclusive. His claim for such expenses was denied because his permanent change of station orders was revoked while he was on eave prior to the time his travel from the original duty station was required. 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.
