DISCRIMINATION
PROHIBITED: Under provisions of applicable public laws
enacted by Congress since 1964, no person shall, on the
grounds of race, color, national origin, handicap, or age,
be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits
of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program
or activity (or, on the basis of sex, with respect to any
education program or activity) receiving Federal financial
assistance. In addition, Executive Order 11141 prohibits
discrimination on the basis of age by contractors and subcontractors
in the performance of Federal contracts and Executive Order

against any employee or applicant for employment because
of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Programs
of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are operated
in compliance with these laws and Executive Orders.
