issue, implement, administer, or enforce any executive
order, or other rule or order, that prohibits Federal con-
tracts with companies that hire permanent replacements
for striking employees.
SEC. 302. Hereafter, the requirement pursuant to
section 18(b)(3) of the United States Housing Act of
1937, for the provision of an additional dwelling unit for
each public housing dwelling unit to be demolished or dis-
posed of under an application submitted by a public hous-
ing agency under section 18(a) of such Act, shall not apply
to any such application approved by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development in fiscal year 1995 or

be affected by this paragraph.
SEC. 303. None of the funds made available in any

the Environmental Protection Agency to impose or enforce
any requirement that a State implement trip reduction

promulgate a Federal implementation plan under section
110(e) of the Clean Air Act for the South Coast, Ventura,
