Said payment shall be made from moneys appropriated under the heading "Claims for Damages, Audited Claims, and Judgments," and acceptance thereof shall constitute a full and complete satisfaction of all claims which the person to whom payment is made may have against the United States arising from the transaction in connection with which the payment is made.
