(2) An agreement referred to in paragraph (1) is any agreement,11 So in original. The comma probably should not appear. between the United States and a foreign country pursuant to which the head of an agency of the United States Government has waived the requirements of the Buy American Act with respect to certain products produced in the foreign country. **(c) Report to Congress** The Mayor shall submit to Congress a report on the amount of purchases from foreign entities under this subchapter from foreign entities in fiscal years 1992 and 1993. Such report shall separately indicate the dollar value of items for which the Buy American Act was waived pursuant to any agreement described in subsection (a)(2), the Trade Agreement Act of 1979 ([19 U.S.C. 2501](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section2501&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.), or any international agreement to which the United States is a party. **(d) “Buy American Act” defined** For purposes of this section, the term “Buy American Act” means title III of the Act entitled “An Act making appropriations for the Treasury and Post Office Departments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934, and for other purposes”, approved March 3, 1933 ([41 U.S.C. 10a](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-section10a&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.) 22 See References in Text note below.. **(e) Restrictions on contract awards** No contract or subcontract made with funds authorized under this subchapter 2 may be awarded for the procurement of an article, material, or supply produced or manufactured in a foreign country whose government unfairly maintains in government procurement a significant and persistent pattern or practice of discrimination against United States products or services which results in identifiable harm to United States businesses, as identified by the President pursuant to 33 So in original. Probably should be followed by “subsection”. (g)(1)(A) of section 305 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 ([19 U.S.C. 2515(g)(1)(A)](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section2515/g/1/A&num=0&edition=prelim)).
