                             EUGENE MAKUCH

  The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 487) for the relief of Eugene Makuch.
  There being no objection, the Clerk read the bill as follows:

                                H.R. 487

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

     SECTION 1. PAYMENT.

       In consideration of the fact that Eugene Makuch--
       (1) served as a foreign counterintelligence agent and 
     dedicated his life to assist the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation in its efforts at the height of the Cold War to 
     combat communism, the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti 
     (KGB), and the Soviet Union, and
       (2) has not received employment assistance or health, 
     social security, or pension benefits, despite assurances that 
     he would receive such benefits upon his retirement,

     the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay, out of funds not 
     otherwise appropriated, the sum of $1,000,000 to Eugene 
     Makuch of East Amherst, New York, in compensation for the 
     lifetime aggregate value of benefits earned but not received 
     by Eugene Makuch.

     SEC. 2. SATISFACTION OF CLAIM.

       The sum paid under section 1 shall be in full satisfaction 
     of any claims that Eugene Makuch may have against the United 
     States arising out of his service for the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation.

     SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON ATTORNEY FEES.

       Not more than 10 percent of the sum paid under section 1 
     shall be paid to or received by any agent or attorney for 
     services rendered in connection with the recovery of such 
     sum. Any person who violates this section shall be fined 
     under title 18, United States Code.

  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read 
the third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider is laid upon the 
table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This concludes the call of the Private 
Calendar.
