Sec. 4513. Presidential awards for cost savings disclosures

    The President may pay a cash award in the amount of $20,000 to any 
employee whose disclosure of fraud, waste, or mismanagement has resulted 
in substantial cost savings for the Government. In evaluating the 
significance of a cost savings disclosure made by an employee for 
purposes of determining whether to make an award to such employee under 
this section, the President may take into account cost savings projected 
for subsequent fiscal years which will be attributable to the 
disclosure. During any fiscal year, the President may not make more than 
50 awards under this section.
