h.r. 5366 was introduced by my colleague, representative peter welch, on may 20, 2010, and referred to the committee on oversight and government reform where we worked hard to get this important legislation to the house floor. this bill requires that any person convicted of violating the foreign corrupt practices act of 1977 be proposed for debarment from any further contracts or grants with the federal government within 30 days after final judgment of the violation. the bill defines final judgment as occurring when all fields of the judgment have been determined or all the time fulfilling such appeals has expired. so there's no question regarding the person's guilt. additionally this bill authorizes the head of a federal agency to issue a waiver allowing contractor grants to be awarded to the contractors but the agency head must justify the decision and report the waiver and accompany justification to congress within 30 days. . this bill also makes it policy that no federal contracts or grants should be awarded to any individuals or companies who violate the foreign corrupt practices
