It shall be unlawful for any person--
(1) who enters into any contract with the United States or any
department or agency thereof either for the rendition of personal
services or furnishing any material, supplies, or equipment to the
United States or any department or agency thereof or for selling any
land or building to the United States or any department or agency
thereof, if payment for the performance of such contract or payment
for such material, supplies, equipment, land, or building is to be
made in whole or in part from funds appropriated by the Congress, at
any time between the commencement of negotiations for and the later
of (A) the completion of performance under; or (B) the termination
of negotiations for, such contract or furnishing of material,
supplies, equipment, land, or buildings, directly or indirectly to
make any contribution of money or other things of value, or to
promise expressly or impliedly to make any such contribution to any
political party, committee, or candidate for public office or to any
person for any political purpose or use; or
(2) knowingly to solicit any such contribution from any such
person for any such purpose during any such period.
(b) Separate segregated funds
This section does not prohibit or make unlawful the establishment or
administration of, or the solicitation of contributions to, any separate
segregated fund by any corporation, labor organization, membership
organization, cooperative, or corporation without capital stock for the
purpose of influencing the nomination for election, or election, of any
person to Federal office, unless the provisions of section 441b of this
title prohibit or make unlawful the establishment or administration of,
or the solicitation of contributions to, such fund. Each specific
prohibition, allowance, and duty applicable to a corporation, labor
organization, or separate segregated fund under section 441b of this
title applies to a corporation, labor organization, or separate
segregated fund to which this subsection applies.

For purposes of this section, the term ``labor organization'' has
the meaning given it by section 441b(b)(1) of this title.
