The Grantee/Borrower agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the Government in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Government that it will furnish the Government such informa- tion as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the Government in the discharge of its primary responsibility for securing compliance.
