                                 A BILL


 
  To limit funding of an executive order that would prohibit Federal 
 contractors from hiring permanent replacements for lawfully striking 
                   employees, and for other purposes.
    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fairness in Federal Contracting Act 
of 1995''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) it is the role of Congress, as the representative body 
        of the people, to decide the policy of the United States with 
        respect to relations between management and labor; and
            (2) the executive branch should not use the Federal 
        procurement process to initiate major changes in the labor-
        management relations of the United States.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to ensure that the 
Congress decides important labor-management relations policy by 
prohibiting the executive branch from spending any appropriated funds 
for the purpose of implementing an executive order that would debar or 
in any way limit the right of Federal contractors under common law to 
use permanent replacements for lawfully striking employees.

SEC. 3. LIMIT ON APPROPRIATED FUNDS.

    None of the funds made available under any appropriations Act for 
fiscal year 1995 may be used to issue, implement, administer, or 
enforce any executive order, or other rule, regulation, or order, that 
limits, restricts, or otherwise affects the ability of any existing or 
potential Federal contractor, subcontractor, or vendor to hire 
permanent replacements for lawfully striking employees.
