(a) Persons eligible; determination; prerequisites

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or any provision 
of the Trading With the Enemy Act, as amended, any person (1) who was 
formerly a national of Bulgaria, Hungary, or Rumania, and (2) who, as a 
consequence of any law, decree, or regulation of the nation of which he 
was a national discriminating against political, racial or religious 
groups, at no time between December 7, 1941, and the time when such law, 
decree, or regulation was abrogated enjoyed full rights of citizenship 
under the law of such nation, shall be eligible hereunder to receive the 
return of his interest in property which was vested under section 
1631a(a) of this title or under the Trading With the Enemy Act, as 
amended, as the property of a corporation organized under the laws of 
Bulgaria, Hungary, or Rumania if 25 per centum or more of the 
outstanding capital stock of such corporation was owned at the date of 
vesting by such persons and nationals of countries other than Bulgaria, 
Hungary, Rumania, Germany, or Japan, or if such corporation was 
subjected after December 7, 1941, under the laws of its country, to 
special wartime measures directed against it because of the enemy 
character of some or all of its stockholders; and no certificate by the 
Department of State as provided under section 1631f(c) of this title 
shall be required for such persons.

(b) Notice of claim; time of claim; fund for payment

    An interest in property vested under the Trading With the Enemy Act, 
as amended, as the property of a corporation organized under the laws of 
Bulgaria, Hungary, or Rumania shall be subject to return under 
subsection (a) of this section only if a notice of claim for the return 
of any such interest has been timely filed under the provisions of 
section 33 of Title 50 Appendix, provided that application may be made 
therefore within six months after July 24, 1968. In the event such 
interest has been liquidated and the net proceeds thereof transferred to 
the Bulgarian Claims Fund, Hungarian Claims Fund, or Rumanian Claims 
Fund, the net proceeds of any other interest representing vested 
property held in the United States Treasury may be used for the purpose 
of making the return hereunder.

or agency with respect to claims under this section, including the 
allowance or disallowance thereof, shall be final and shall not be
