Directs claimants to submit compensation claims in writing to the Secretary within two years after enactment. Provides that such claims are ineligible for interest and shall not be paid if the claim is less than fifty dollars. Sets procedural guidelines for notice and publication of the rights under this Act. States that: (1) payment of any claim constitutes a full discharge of any matters involved in the controversy; and (2) the Secretary's final determination against a claimant is a permanent bar against further claims.
