Private Law 98-18 98th Congress An Act Sept. 28, 1984 [H.R. 2387]

For the relief of Benjamin B. Doeh.

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 shall pay to Benjamin B. Doeh of La Mesa, California, in a lump sum, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $102,435. Such sum represents losses sustained by Benjamin B. Doeh as president and sole shareholder of the Morovis Development Corporation (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) in connection with the late completion by such corporation of the houses comprising the Russe Development in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the purchase of which houses was financed by the Farmers Home Administration. Such losses consisted of— (1) that part of the purchase price withheld at the direction of the Farmers Home Administration for the late completion of certain Russe Development houses, even though such lateness was contractually excusable, being directly attributable to unusually heavy rainfalls, unexpected work stoppages, and other uncontrollable circumstances; and (2) unanticipated increases in construction costs not reflected in the purchase price contracted for, and for which reimbursement to such corporation was denied by the Farmers Home Administration. SEC. 2. Payment of the sum stated in the first section of this Act shall be in full satisfaction of any claims that Benjamin B. Doeh or the Morovis Development Corporation may have against the United States with respect to the losses described in such section. SEC. 3. It shall be unlawful for any amount in excess of 10 per centum of the lump-sum payment referred to in the first section of this Act to be paid to or received by any agent or attorney in consideration for services rendered in connection with such lumpsum payment. Any person who violates the preceding provisions of this section shall be fined not more than $1,000. Approved September 28, 1984.
