<br />the contracting agency and the office of the Governor or his designee for purposes of investigation
<br />to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations and orders.

<br />in such labor organization, or to expel any such individual from membership is such labor
<br />organization or discriminate against any of its members in the full enjoyment of work opportunity,
<br />because of race, creed, color, sex, national origin or ancestry.
