                      CAMPBELL AMENDMENT NO. 2822

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. CAMPBELL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill (S. 400) to provide technical corrections to the Native 
American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, to 
improve the delivery of housing assistance to Indian tribes in a manner 
that recognizes the right of tribal self-governance, and for other 
purposes; as follows:

       On page 19, strike lines 2 through 10 and insert the 
     following:
       Section 104(b) of the Native American Housing Assistance 
     and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4114(b)) is 
     amended--
       (1) by striking ``Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-5)'' 
     and inserting ``Act of March 3, 1931 (commonly known as the 
     `Davis-Bacon Act') (46 Stat. 1494, chapter 411; 40 U.S.C. 
     276a et seq.)''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(3) Application of tribal laws.--Paragraph (1) shall not 
     apply to any contract or agreement for assistance, sale, or 
     lease pursuant to this Act, if such contract or agreement is 
     otherwise covered by 1 or more laws or regulations adopted by 
     an Indian tribe that requires the payment of not less than 
     prevailing wages, as determined by the Indian tribe.''.
