serting the words "section 2307(c), or section 2313(c)" in place

words " (4) clearly indicate why the application of section 2313 (b) 
to a contract or subcontract with a foreign contractor or foreign 
subcontractor would not be in the public interest, or (5)". 
(2) Section 2313 is amended— 
(A) by striking out the word "Each" in subsection (b) and 
inserting the words "Except as provided in subsection (c), each" 
in place thereof; and 
(B) by adding the following new subsection at the end thereof:

a foreign contractor or foreign subcontractor if the head of the agency 
determines, with the concurrence of the Comptroller General or his 
designee, that the application of that subsection to the contract or 
subcontract would not be in the public interest. 
However, the con-
currence of the Comptroller General or his designee is not required— 
" (1) where the contractor or subcontractor is a foreign govern-
ment or agency thereof or is precluded by the laws of the country 
involved from making its books, documents, papers, or records 
available for examination; and 
"(2) where the head of the agency determines, after taking 
into account the price and availability of the property or services 
from United States sources, that the public interest would be best 
served by not applying subsection (b). 
If subsection (b) is not applied to a contract or subcontract based on 
a determination under clause (2), a written report shall be furnished 
to the Congress."
