The SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of Congress, in compliance with section 2 of the act of July 7, 1884 (5 U. S. C. 266), an estimate of appropriation under the Treasury Department for payment of a certain claim allowed by the General Accounting Office, amounting to $373.92.

The necessity for this appropriation is explained in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, transmitted herewith, in whose comments and observations thereon I concur.

The PRESIDENT,

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT,

The White House.

BUREAU OF the Budget, Washington, D. C., February 25, 1944.

SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith for your consideration, in compliance with section 2 of the act of July 7, 1884 (5 U. S. C. 266), an estimate of appropriation for the payment of a certain claim allowed by the General Accounting Office, amounting to $373.92, as covered by a certificate of settlement transmitted to the Treasury Department for payment under the following act:

Public Law 505, Seventy-sixth Congress, approved May 2, 1940, entitled "An act for the relief of officers and soldiers of the volunteer service of the United States mustered into service for the War with Spain, and who were held in service in the Philippine Islands after the ratification of the treaty of peace, April 11, 1899."

Since no appropriation for the payment of this claim is provided by the above act, an appropriation for that purpose is necessary at this time, as follows:

Under War Department:

Travel pay and allowance, volunteers, War with Spain in the Philip-
pine Islands, act May 2, 1940....

$373.92

The letter of the Treasury Department and a copy of the certificate of settlement, the number of which is shown in the first column of the schedule, are submitted herewith.

Very respectfully,

HAROLD D. SMITH, Director of the Bureau of the Budget.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Washington, February 19, 1944.

The DIRECTOR, BUREAU OF THE BUDGET.

SIR: Pursuant to the provisions of section 2 of the act of July 7, 1884 (5 U. S. C. 266), there is presented herewith for your consideration, with a view to its submission to Congress, a schedule covering a claim allowed by the General Accounting Office under the certificate of settlement shown in the schedule, which has been transmitted to the Treasury Department for payment.

The authorization and direction for the settlement of this claim in the General Accounting Office is contained in the following act:

Public Act No. 505, Seventy-sixth Congress, approved May 2, 1940, entitled "An act for the relief of officers and soldiers of the volunteer service of the United States mustered into service for the War with Spain, and who were held in service in the Philippine Islands after the ratification of the treaty of peace, April 11, 1899."

No appropriation is provided in the act of May 2, 1940, for the payment of this claim, and therefore there is required at this time an appropriation to meet the payment thereof as follows:

Under the War Department:

Travel pay and allowance, volunteers, War with Spain in the Philippine Islands, act May 2, 1940...

Very truly yours,

C. R. SCHOENEMAN,

$373. 92

Acting Administrative Assistant to the Secretary.
