(a) The Secretary of State may settle, for not more than $1,500
in any one case, a claim for personal injury or death of an
individual not a national of the United States in a foreign country
in which the United States exercises privileges of
extraterritoriality when the injury or death is caused by an
officer, employee, or agent of the United States Government (except
of a military department of the Department of Defense or the Coast
Guard). An officer or employee of the Government may not present a
claim. A claim under this section may be allowed only if it is
presented to the Secretary within one year after it accrues.
(b) The Secretary shall certify to Congress a settlement under
this section for payment out of an appropriation that may be made
to pay the settlement. The Secretary shall include a brief
statement on the type of the claim, the amount claimed, and the
amount of the settlement.
(c) A claim may be paid under this section only if the claimant
accepts the amount of the settlement in complete satisfaction of
the claim against the Government.
