All persons in the United States are chargeable with knowledge of the Statutes-at-
Large. It is well established that anyone who deals with the government assumes
the risk that the agent acting in the government's behalf has exceeded the bounds

arrangement with the government takes the risk of having accurately ascertained
that he who purports to act for the government stays within the bounds of his
authority. The scope of this authority may be explicitly defined by Congress or be
limited by delegated legislation, properly exercised through the rule-making power.
And this is so even though, as here, the agent himself may have been unaware of
the limitations upon his authority.” Federal Crop Insurance Corp. V. Merrill,
332 U.S. 380; 68 S. Ct. 1

“If a public officer authorized the doing of an act not within the scope of his
