             CHAPTER 7--OFFICE OF FEDERAL PROCUREMENT POLICY
 
Sec. 436. Protection of constitutional rights of contractors


(a) Prohibition

    A contractor may not be required, as a condition for entering into a 
contract with the Federal Government, to waive any right under the 
Constitution for any purpose related to Chemical Weapons Convention 
Implementation Act of 1997 [22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq.] or the Chemical 
Weapons Convention (as defined in section 3 of such Act [22 U.S.C. 
6701]).

(b) Construction

    Nothing in subsection (a) of this section shall be construed to 
prohibit an executive agency from including in a contract a clause that 
requires the contractor to permit inspections for the purpose of 
ensuring that the contractor is performing the contract in accordance 
with the provisions of the contract.

(Pub. L. 93-400, Sec. 39, as added Pub. L. 105-277, div. I, title III, 
Sec. 308(a), Oct. 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2681-879.)

                       References in Text

    The Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1997, referred 
to in subsec. (a), probably means the Chemical Weapons Convention 
Implementation Act of 1998, which is div. I of Pub. L. 105-277, Oct. 21, 
1998, 112 Stat. 2681-856, and is classified principally to chapter 75 
(Sec. 6701 et seq.) of Title 22, Foreign Relations and Intercourse. For 
complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note 
set out under section 6701 of Title 22 and Tables.

    Another section 39 of Pub. L. 93-400 is classified to section 435 of
