Statutory text
AN ACT
For the relief of Manuel H. Silva.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary
Manuel H. Silva.
of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Manuel H. Silva, of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, the sum of $6,240, in compensation for the loss of certain pigs during a cholera outbreak. This compensation would normally be available under Federal law, but in this case extremely bad weather, including a major snowstorm, prevented the necessary inspection for seven days, during which time one hundred and fifty-six of the infected animals had died, rendering the loss ineligible for compensation to that extent.
Sec. 2.
No amount appropriated in the first section of this Act shall be paid or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with the claims dealt with therein. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be fined not more than $1,000.
Approved December 12, 1973.
