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
this title.
