      for employment because of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age,

      federal law, rule or regulation shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose
      of meeting the requirements of this section.

   2.  The contractor will include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs a,
   b and c in every subcontract or purchase order of over $ 10,000, so that the
   provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor.
