                                 AN ACT


 
                 For the relief of Margarito Domantay.

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

SECTION 1. PAYMENT OF CLAIM AGAINST THE UNITED STATES FOR ERRONEOUS 
              COMPUTATION OF RETIRED PAY.

    The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay, out of any funds in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Petty Officer Margarito 
Domantay, United States Navy (retired), of Tampa, Florida, the sum of 
$6,386.30, such amount representing the amount of retired pay (with 
interest) that Petty Officer Domantay would have received for the 
period beginning on June 8, 1979, and ending on March 12, 1985, had 
that retired pay been properly computed based upon pay grade E-5 second 
class (rather than pay grade of E-4, third class, with which such 
retired pay was computed due to administrative error).

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON AGENT AND ATTORNEY FEES.

    It shall be unlawful for an amount exceeding 10 percent of the 
amount paid pursuant to section 1 to be paid to, or received by, any 
agent or attorney for any service rendered in connection with the claim 
described in such section. Any person who violates this section shall 
be 
guilty of an infraction, and shall be subject to a fine in the amount 
provided in title 18, United States Code.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 16, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                ROBIN H. CARLE,

                                                                 Clerk.
