    (a) In all appropriate instances, a compromise that is accepted by

compromised debt in consideration of payment in full of the compromised 
amount.
    (2) The Government and its officials, past and present, are released 
and discharged from any and all claims and causes of action arising from 
the same transaction held by the debtor.
    (b) If a mutual release is not executed when a debt is compromised, 
unless prohibited by law, the debtor is still deemed to have waived any 
and all claims and causes of action against the Government and its 
officials related to the transaction giving rise to the compromised 
debt.
