authority shall terminate the contract and no liability shall be attached to the contracting authority or the Government. This is because some people come with privately initiated proposals. They are agreed on. A lot of work is done, they sign and then they disappear. This is just to make sure that if you disappear within that period, then the Government has no liability to terminate the contract. These are new sections.
