with planning, training, assessment, review, or other routine purposes 
related to a project funded by the grant or contract.
    (e) None of the funds made available in this or any other 
appropriations Act may be used for travel and conference activities 
that are not in compliance with Office of Management and Budget 
Memorandum M-12-12 dated May 11, 2012.

is made pursuant to the reprogramming or transfer provisions of this or 
any other appropriations Act.
    Sec. 741. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made

following provisions: ``These provisions are consistent with and do not 
supersede, conflict with, or otherwise alter the employee obligations, 
rights, or liabilities created by existing statute or Executive order 
relating to (1) classified information, (2) communications to Congress, 
(3) the reporting to an Inspector General of a violation of any law, 
rule, or regulation, or mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse 
of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or 
safety, or (4) any other whistleblower protection. The definitions, 
requirements, obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created 
by controlling Executive orders and statutory provisions are 
incorporated into this agreement and are controlling.'': Provided, That 
notwithstanding the preceding provision of this section, a 
nondisclosure policy form or agreement that is to be executed by a 
person connected with the conduct of an intelligence or intelligence-
related activity, other than an employee or officer of the United 
States Government, may contain provisions appropriate to the particular 
activity for which such document is to be used. Such form or agreement 
shall, at a minimum, require that the person will not disclose any 
classified information received in the course of such activity unless 
specifically authorized to do so by the United States Government. Such 
nondisclosure forms shall also make it clear that they do not bar 
disclosures to Congress, or to an authorized official of an executive 
agency or the Department of Justice, that are essential to reporting a 
substantial violation of law.
    (b) A nondisclosure agreement may continue to be implemented and 
enforced notwithstanding subsection (a) if it complies with the 
requirements for such agreement that were in effect when the agreement 
was entered into.

implement or enforce any agreement entered into during fiscal year 2014 
which does not contain substantially similar language to that required 
in subsection (a).

Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding, 
or cooperative agreement with, make a grant to, or provide a loan or 
loan guarantee to, any corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax 
liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and 
administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is 
not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the 
authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, where the 
awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless a Federal 
agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and 
has made a determination that this further action is not necessary to 
protect the interests of the Government.
    Sec. 744.  None of the funds made available by this or any other 
Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding, 
or cooperative agreement with, make a grant to, or provide a loan or 
loan guarantee to, any corporation that was convicted of a felony 
criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 
months, where the awarding agency is aware of the conviction, unless a 
Federal agency has considered suspension or debarment of the 
corporation and has made a determination that this further action is 
not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
    Sec. 745.  None of the funds made available by this or any other 
Act may be used to implement, administer, carry out, modify, revise, or 
enforce Executive Order 13690 (entitled ``Establishing a Federal Flood 
Risk Management Standard and a Process for Further Soliciting and 
Considering Stakeholder Input'').
    Sec. 746.  Except as expressly provided otherwise, any reference to

Council or Mayor of the District of Columbia from addressing the issue
