Abstract: We prove a generalization of Thom's transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map

f_{*} |_{Y} : Y s u b s e t e q J^{r} (D, M) a J^{r} (D, N)

is generically (for

f : M a N

) transverse to a submanifold

Z s u b s e t e q J^{r} (D, N)

. We apply this to study transversality properties of a restriction of a fixed map

g : M a P

to the preimage

(j^{s} f)^{- 1} (A)

of a submanifold

A s u b s e t e q J^{s} (M, N)

in terms of transversality properties of the original map

f

. Our main result is that for a reasonable class of submanifolds

A

and a generic map

f

the restriction

g |_{(j^{s} f)^{- 1} (A)}

is also generic. We also present an example of

A

where the theorem fails.
