Defense, to Harold W. Brown, of Titusville, Florida, the amount 
described in subsection (b) as reimbursement for the amount deducted 
from Mr. Brown's earnings incident to the transportation of his 
household goods at the time of his retirement as a United States

this sum shall be in full satisfaction of any claim against the United

        to Paris, France (where Mr. Brown elected to reside following 
        retirement) including a drop off en route at Antibes, France, 
        or
            (2) the constructive cost of shipping the same goods from 
        Madrid, Spain, to Silver Spring, Maryland (Mr. Brown's place of 
        actual residence at the time of his assignment to duty outside 
        the United States).

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON ATTORNEY'S AND AGENT'S FEES.

    No more than 10 percent of the sum appropriated by section 1 shall
