                       TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS
 
                      CHAPTER 9--CONTRACT DISPUTES
 
Sec. 610. Subpena, discovery, and deposition

    A member of an agency board of contract appeals may administer oaths 
to witnesses, authorize depositions and discovery proceedings, and 
require by subpena the attendance of witnesses, and production of books 
and papers, for the taking of testimony or evidence by deposition or in 
the hearing of an appeal by the agency board. In case of contumacy or 
refusal to obey a subpena by a person who resides, is found, or 
transacts business within the jurisdiction of a United States district 
court, the court, upon application of the agency board through the 
Attorney General; or upon application by the board of contract appeals 
of the Tennessee Valley Authority, shall have jurisdiction to issue the 
person an order requiring him to appear before the agency board or a 
member thereof, to produce evidence or to give testimony, or both. Any 
failure of any such person to obey the order of the court may be 
punished by the court as a contempt thereof.
