Summary
The Commission must send the Secretary of the Treasury the dollar amounts of each award made under section 4132 so they can be paid from the War Claims Fund. The Commission must also re-certify, in U.S. dollars, awards already made for claims against the Government of Hungary under section 1641b(1) of title 22 so those payments can be made, but this does not allow any new claims against Hungary.
