Private Law 94–48

That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Mrs. Louise G. Whalen, of Lee, Massachusetts, the sum of $3,473 in full satisfaction of her claims against the United States for death indemnity compensation in the period from February 1969 to November 1973 based upon the death of her son, Michael Whalen, in action in Vietnam in February of 1969, which amount was not paid because she was not given adequate notice of her right to claim indemnity compensation under applicable law.

Sec. 2.

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.
