For the relief of Donald D. Lambert.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That Donald D. Lambert, of West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, is hereby relieved of all liability for repayment to the United States of the sum of $2,172.62, representing an overpayment of retired pay from the date of his discharge from the temporary retired list of the United States Marine Corps on November 30, 1963, until December 31, 1965, due to the fact that the disbursing officer was not notified of his discharge. In the audit and settlement of accounts of any certifying or disbursing officer of the United States, full credit shall be given for the amount for which liability is relieved by this Act.
Sec. 2.
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to the said Donald D. Lambert, the sum of any amounts withheld from on account of the overpayments referred to in the first section of this Act. 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.
