SECTION 1. PAYMENT OF CLAIM.

    The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay, out of any money in the

Charmaine Bieda prior to such payment, $2,500,000 each to Annette 
Bieda, Bobbi Ann Dwyer, Madeleine Dwyer, and Michelle Pushefski. The 
payment required by this section shall be in full satisfaction of all 
claims that Charmaine Bieda may have against the United States relating 
to the murder of her daughter, Charlene Michelle Bieda Moore, by 
Charlene's husband Bruce Moore on December 19, 1984, while Charlene and 
Bruce were serving in the United States Army and after Charlene had 
requested that the Army protect her from Bruce and had informed their 
superiors that he was abusing her.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON AGENT AND ATTORNEY FEES.

    It shall be unlawful for an amount exceeding 10 percent of the 
payment required by section 1 to be paid to or received by any agent or
