AN ACT
For the relief of certain consultants formerly employed by the Technical Indus-
trial Intelligence Committee of the Foreign Economic Administration, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That no provisions
of any law, regulation, or order (including travel orders or authoriza-
tions) which authorize or direct deductions from per diem allowances
in lieu of subsistence for items of meals or lodging obtained free or
purchased from any Government agency or from the Military Estab-
lishment or from any branch of the Government drawing rations from
the military or providing quarters by arrangement with the military,
shall be deemed to apply to those persons employed as technical, scien-
tific, or other form of expert consultant by the Technical Industrial
Intelligence Committee division of the Foreign Economic Adminis-
tration without compensation or at $1 per annum during the fiscal
years 1945 and 1946, by reason of such employment and during the
period thereof; and no deductions shall be taken from per diem
allowances in lieu of subsistence to such employees for any such meals
or lodging during such employment (such meals or lodging being
sometimes referred to herein as "items ).
SEC. 2. Any charges for such items against the accounts of such
employees appearing on the books of any Government agency shall
be canceled and eliminated, and proper credits shall be entered against
such accounts therefor.
SEc. 3 . No certificate or statement as to such items furnished such
employees shall be required of them: Provided, That this section shall
not be construed to waive the filing by such employees of any certificate
or statement required to be submitted under existing law or regula-
tions with reference to their per diem allowances exclusive of such
items as defined in section 1.
SEo. 4. In order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this
Act-
(a) In any case wherein any such employee has not been paid any
sum for said allowance and has not been advanced any funds for
travel or other expenses, the Comptroller General of the United States
is authorized and directed to allow credits or to cancel charges for
such items in the accounts of such employee (whether on accounts in
his office or in the office of any certifying, disbursing, or other account-
able officer) and in the accounts of any present or former certifying,
disbursing, or other accountable officer.
(b) In any case wherein any such employee may have been paid
such allowance without deductions for such items, the Comptroller
General is authorized and directed to allow credits or to cancel charges
therefor in the same manner and to the same extent as provided in
paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) In any case wherein any such employee has furnished a certifi-
cate as to such items, as a result whereof deductions therefor were
