What should the American manufacturer insist upon having if it wants to protect its right to sue the government in the event it does not pay for the goods? A wavier of immunity. A waiver of immunity revers to taking away rights to refuse to testify against someone by a witness. The person in question can waive their rights themselves and incriminate under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
