CHAPTER 766 AN ACT For the relief of John L. Hughes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the John L. Hughes. JJuitcd States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to John L. Hughes, Marquette, Kansas, the sum of $416.50. Such sum represents the amount which is equitably due the said John L. Hughes in full settlement of his claim against the United States for reimbursement of resettlement expenses incurred by him as a direct result of his moving from a tract of land designated as tract numbered A-125-E, Kanapolis Reservoir Spillway, Kansas, title to which was acquired by the United States on October 7, 1953. The United States was precluded from making administrative settlement of such claim in the manner provided by section 401(b) of the Act of July 14, 1952 (Public Law 534, 66 Stat. 606. Eighty-secoud Congress), by reason of the provision contained therein prohibiting payment of any such claim unless application for reimbursement is submitted within one year after the date of acquisition of title by the United States. Because of his lack of knowledge of such provision but without fault on his part, the said John L. Hughes failed to submit his application within the prescribed period: Provided, That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof 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. Approved July 27, 1956.
