AN ACT
For the relief of Estelle L. Heard.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary
Estelle L. Heard.
of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $880.23 to Estelle L. Heard, of Danville, Virginia, in full settlement of her claims against the United States for compensation for damage to her 1958 Chevrolet sedan sustained in an accident which occurred on March 12, 1961, near South Boston, Virginia, when her automobile was struck and seriously damaged by a United States Army truck and trailer. This claim has been determined not to be cognizable under the tort claims provisions of title 28 of the United States Code on the ground
that the Army driver was not acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the collision: 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.
