(a) Order of priority of payments
The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay out of
the War Claims Fund on account of awards cer-
tified by the Commission pursuant to this sub-
chapter as follows and in the following order of
priority:
(1) Payment in full of awards made pursuant
to section 4132(d)(1) and (2) of this title, and
thereafter of any award made pursuant to sec-
tion 4132(a) of this title to any claimant (A) cer-
tified to the Commission by the Small Business
Administration as having been, on the date of
loss, damage, or destruction, a small business
concern within the meaning now set forth in the
Small Business Act, as amended [15 U.S.C. 631 et
seq.], or (B) determined by the Commission to
have been, on the date of loss, damage, or de-
struction, a nonprofit organization operated ex-
clusively for the promotion of social welfare, re-
ligious, charitable, or educational purposes.
(2) Thereafter, payments from time to time on
account of the other awards made pursuant to
section 4132 of this title in an amount which
shall be the same for each award or in the
amount of the award, whichever is less. The
total payment made pursuant to this paragraph
on account of any award shall not exceed $10,000.
(3) Thereafter, payments from time to time on
account of the other awards made to individuals
and corporations pursuant to section 4132 of this
title and not compensated in full under para-
graph (1) or (2) of this subsection in an amount
which shall be the same for each award or in the
amount of the award, whichever is less. The
total payment pursuant to this paragraph on ac-
count of any award shall not exceed $35,000.
(4) Thereafter, payments from time to time on
account of the unpaid balance of each remaining
award made pursuant to section 4132 of this title
or recertified pursuant to subsection (b) of sec-
tion 4139 of this title which shall bear to such
unpaid balance the same proportion as the total
amount in the War Claims Fund and available
for distribution at the time such payments are
made bears to the aggregate unpaid balances of
all such awards. No payment made pursuant to
this paragraph on account of any award shall ex-
ceed the unpaid balance of such award. Pay-
ments heretofore made under section 1641i of
title 22, on awards made against the Govern-
ment of Hungary under section 1641b(1) of title
22, and recertified under subsection (b) of sec-
tion 4139 of this title, shall be considered as pay-
ments under this paragraph and no payment
shall be made on any recertified award until the
percentage of distribution on awards made
under section 4132 of this title exceeds the cor-
responding percentage of distribution on such
recertified award: Provided, That no payment
made on awards recertified under subsection (b)
of section 4139 of this title shall exceed 40 per
centum of the amount of the award recertified.
(b) Regulations
Such payments, and applications for such pay-
ments, shall be made in accordance with such
regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury
shall prescribe.
(c) Aggregation of awards
For the purpose of making any such payments,
other than under subsection (a)(1), an ‘‘award’’
shall be deemed to mean the aggregate of all
awards certified for payment in favor of the
same claimant.
(d) Death or disability of claimant
If any person to whom any payment is to be
made pursuant to this subchapter is deceased or

is under a legal disability, payment shall be
made to his legal representative, except that if
any payment to be made is not over $1,000 and
there is no qualified executor or administrator,
payment may be made to the person or persons
found by the Secretary of the Treasury to be en-
titled thereto, without the necessity of compli-
ance with the requirements of law with respect
to the administration of estates.
(e) Partial payment; extinguishment of rights
Payment on account of any award pursuant to
this subchapter shall not, unless such payment
is for the full amount of the award, extinguish
any rights against any foreign government for
the unpaid balance of the award.
(f) Losses occurring in Commonwealth of the
Philippines
Payments made under this section on account
of any award for loss, damage, or destruction oc-
curring in the Commonwealth of the Philippines
shall not exceed the amount paid on account of

**(a) Aid, counsel, assistance, etc., to small business concerns** The essence of the American economic system of private enterprise is free competition. Only through full and free competition can free markets, free entry into business, and opportunities for the expression and growth of personal initiative and individual judgment be assured. The preservation and expansion of such competition is basic not only to the economic well-being but to the security of this Nation. Such security and well-being cannot be realized unless the actual and potential capacity of small business is encouraged and developed. It is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid, counsel, assist, and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small-business concerns in order to preserve free competitive enterprise, to insure that a fair proportion of the total purchases and contracts or subcontracts for property and services for the Government (including but not limited to contracts or subcontracts for maintenance, repair, and construction) be placed with small-business enterprises, to insure that a fair proportion of the total sales of Government property be made to such enterprises, and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of the Nation.
**(b) Assistance to compete in international markets**
(1) It is the declared policy of the Congress that the Federal Government, through the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, acting through the Associate Administrator for International Trade, and in cooperation with the Department of Commerce and other relevant State and Federal agencies, should aid and assist small businesses, as defined under this chapter, to increase their ability to compete in international markets by—

TITLE 50—WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
§ 4132
(2) In the case of each claim allowed in an
amount greater than $500, such claim shall be
paid in two installments. The first installment
shall be paid in an amount equal to $500 plus
662⁄3 per centum of the amount of such claim
allowed in excess of $500. The last installment
shall be computed as of September 1, 1956,
under the next sentence of this paragraph,
and, as so computed, shall be paid from the
sums remaining in the War Claims Fund on
that date. If the sums remaining in the War
Claims Fund on September 1, 1956, are suffi-
cient to satisfy all claims allowed under this
section and not paid in full, the unpaid portion
of each such claim shall be paid in full; if the
sums remaining in the War Claims Fund on
September 1, 1956, are not sufficient to satisfy
all claims allowed under this section and not
paid in full, the last installment payable on
each such claim shall be reduced ratably, and,
as so reduced, shall be paid from the War
Claims Fund.
