                For the relief of Earl B. Chappell, Jr.

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

SECTION 1. PAYMENT OF CLAIM TO EARL B. CHAPPELL, JR.

    The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay, out of any money in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $53,773.23 to Earl B. 
Chappell, Jr., of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The sum represents interest 
on the amount erroneously deducted from the backpay paid to Earl B. 
Chappell, Jr., in November 1974 pursuant to his reinstatement to a 
civil service position with the United States Navy and not remitted to 
him until February 19, 1986. Payment of the sum shall fully satisfy any 
claim Earl B. Chappell, Jr., has against the United States for damages 
relating to the amount deducted from his backpay award.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON ATTORNEYS FEES.

    No amount exceeding 10 percent of the payment made under section 1 
shall be paid to or received by any agent or attorney in consideration 
for services rendered in connection with the payment. Any person who 
violates this section shall be guilty of an infraction and shall be 
subject to a fine in the amount provided under title 18, United States 
Code.

                                 <all>
