<br /> appropriations act to include the text of 18 U.S.C.1913 in all of its award,cooperative agreement,and contract
<br /> documents.
<br /> Text of 18 U.S.C.1913:
<br /> No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress shall,in the absence of express authorization by
<br /> Congress,be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service,advertisement,telegram,telephone,letter,printed
<br /> or written matter,or other device,intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress,a jurisdiction,
<br /> or an official of any government,to favor,adopt,or oppose,by vote or otherwise,any legislation,law,ratification,policy,
<br /> or appropriation,whether before or after the introduction of any bill,measure,or resolution proposing such legislation,
<br /> law,ratification,policy,or appropriation;but this shall not prevent officers or employees of the United States or of its
<br /> departments or agencies from communicating to any such Member or official,at his request,or to Congress or such
<br /> official,through the proper official channels,requests for any legislation,law,ratification,policy,or appropriations which
<br /> they deem necessary for the efficient conduct of the public business,or from making any communication whose
<br /> prohibition by this section might,in the opinion of the Attorney General,violate the Constitution or interfere with the
<br /> conduct of foreign policy,counter-intelligence,intelligence,or national security activities. Violations of this section shall
<br /> constitute violations of section 1352(a)of title 31.
<br /> 9. Procurement Standards(2 CFR§§200.317—326)
<br /> Grantee is subject to the procurement standards set forth in 2 CFR§§200.317—326. Also see Appendix II to 2 CFR part
<br /> 200—Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards.
<br /> The standards contained in this section do not relieve the grantee of the responsibilities arising under its contracts. The
<br /> grantee is the responsible authority,without recourse to Humanities Washington or the National Endowment for the
<br /> Humanities,regarding the settlement and satisfaction of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of
<br /> procurements entered into in support of an award or other agreement. Matters concerning the violation of a statute are
<br /> to be referred to such Federal,state,or local authority as may have proper jurisdiction.
<br /> 10. Audit Requirements
<br /> Humanities Washington may inspect or audit grantee's financial accounts and records or may assign a qualified person to
<br /> do so. Inspection and audit may include visits to the grantee before grant payments are made to make sure that the
<br /> grantee's accounting system is adequate. The National Endowment for the Humanities may also conduct an inspection or
<br /> audit. The Federal Government has the right to audit third party accounts related to the grants.
<br /> If required,grantee shall have audits performed that meet the requirements of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996
<br /> (31 USC 7501-7507)as implemented by 2 CFR 200,Subpart F-Audit Requirements. Grantees that expend more than
<br /> $750,000 in Federal funds from all sources during their fiscal year are subject to the Single Audit(formerly known as
<br /> the A-133 audit).
<br /> If applicable,this grant provided by Humanities Washington must be identified as such on the schedule of expenditures of
<br /> federal awards(SEFA).
<br /> This grant provided by Humanities Washington is a re-grant of money received from the National Endowment for the
<br /> Humanities,a Federal agency. This means that the funds awarded through this grant are Federal funds(45.129
<br /> Promotion of the Humanities Federal-State Partnership)and that grantee must comply with any Federal,state,or local
<br /> laws,rules,or regulations that may pertain.
<br /> 11. Misapplied Funds
<br /> If Humanities Washington determines that grantee has misapplied any of the grant funds,Humanities Washington has an
<br /> ownership interest in any money or property acquired through the use of the misapplied funds. Grantee must also repay
<br /> misapplied funds to Humanities Washington.
