                                 A BILL


 
   For the relief of land grantors in Henderson, Union, and Webster 
                  Counties, Kentucky, and their heirs.

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

 SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION.

    The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, 
out of money not otherwise appropriated, to the individuals (and in any 
case in which such individual is deceased, the heirs of such 
individual) who sold their land in Henderson, Union, and Webster 
Counties, Kentucky, to the United States Government under threat of 
condemnation in order to provide the 35,684.99 acres necessary for the 
military training camp known as Camp Breckinridge, the sum of $         
   , such sum being in full satisfaction of all claims by such 
individuals against the United States arising out of such sale.

SEC. 2. REASON FOR RELIEF.

    The individuals described in section 1 assert that they were--
            (1) promised they would be given priority to repurchase 
        land sold by them if sold by the United States Government; and
            (2) paid less than reasonable value due in part to the 
        refusal of the United States Government to compensate the 
        owners for mineral, oil and gas rights.

SEC. 3. ATTORNEY FEES.

    No part of the amount appropriated by this Act in excess of 10 
percent thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent 
or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this 
claim, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Violation of the 
provisions of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to 
exceed $1,000.

                                 <all>
