<br />information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions
<br />discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not
<br />otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal

<br />September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
<br />thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency
<br />and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules,
<br />regulations, and orders.
<br />(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
<br />contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled,
<br />terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for
<br />further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with
<br />procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions
<br />may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
<br />1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
