AN ACT
For the relief of John G. Rogers.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That John C. Rogers of McMinnville, Oregon, is relieved of all liability for repayment to the United States of the sum of $135.17, representing the amount of an overpayment he received from the United States as the result of administrative error in determining the lump-sum payment for accumulated, unused leave to which the said John C. Rogers was entitled upon his discharge from active duty with the United States Navy. In the audit and settlement of accounts of any certifying or disbursing officer of the United States, credit shall be given for amounts for which liability is relieved by this section.
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 John C. Rogers, the sum of any amounts received or withheld from him on account of the overpayment referred to in the first section of this Act.
No part of any amount appropriated under this section 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. Violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000.
