A bill to provide retroactive pay to certain members of the Armed Forces held as prisoners of war during World War II.

Authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to make retroactive payments to members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard (or their survivors) who were held captive by Japan during World War II. Provides that such payments shall be in an amount equal to the difference between what an individual actually received while in prisoner of war status, and what he would have been entitled to if a promotion after repatriation had been in effect on the date of his captivity.
