        In providing financial assistance using funds made available

    provide to each recipient of the assistance a notice describing the 
    statement made in paragraph (1) by Congress.

(c) Prohibition of contracts with persons falsely labeling products as 
        made in America

    If it has been finally determined by a court or Federal agency that 
any person intentionally affixed a label bearing a ``Made in America'' 
inscription, or any inscription with the same meaning, to any product 
sold in or shipped to the United States that is not made in the United 
States, the person shall be ineligible to receive any contract or 
subcontract made with funds made available in this subtitle,\1\ pursuant
