Makes the same changes identically for loans made to private business enterprises under such Act. Authorizes the President to provide for purchases or purchase commitments for an industrial resource or a critical technology (currently, such purchases or purchase commitments are permitted for the purchase of metals, minerals, and other material).

Provides that a finding that a contractor has engaged in an unfair trade practice shall indicate a lack of business integrity or honesty that seriously and directly affects the responsibility of the contractor to perform any Government contract. Subjects such a contractor to suspension and debarment from participation in Government contracts.
