An Act

For the relief of Lawrence Youngman.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $47,250 to Lawrence Youngman, of Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Montana, that amount representing the present fair market value, and rents and interests since 1930. on three hundred and twenty acres of upland grazing land and forty acres of river bottom land on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana, which were not allotted to him under the allotment schedule of 1929 authorized by the Act of August 1, 1914 (38 Stat. 593), because of an erroneous administrative report stating that he had died as an infant. That payment is in full settlement of all claims against the United States for compensation for the loss of the allotment which occurred on January 13, 1930.

Sec. 2.

No part of the amount appropriated by this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid, delivered to, or received by an agent or attorney on account of services rendered, in connection with this claim. Any person violating the provisions of this Act is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be lined in a sum not to exceed $1,000.

Sec. 3.

Of the amount appropriated by this Act, $33,600 shall not be subject to Federal or State taxation. This amount reflects the current value of the land exclusive of rents and interest.

Approved November 2, 1978.
