Prohibits payment to any contractor from exceeding 50 percent of the overpayments identified by any contract audit. Requires the transfer of the balance of overpayments collected to miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury. Requires the Administrator to include transactions under this Act in budget estimates to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and to the Congress.
