commonly known as the Davis-Bacon
Act, in the specified jurisdictions, and

I hereby report to the Congress on final

‘‘construction, alteration, or repair, including
painting and decorating, of public buildings
and public works’’ must contain ‘‘a provision

minimum wages must be based on the
prevailing wages ‘‘in the civil subdivision of
the State in which the work is to be

suspended, as to all contracts entered on or
