  ``Congress finds that--
          ``(1) the 2 federally owned airports in the metropolitan area 
        of the District of Columbia constitute an important and growing 
        part of the commerce, transportation, and economic patterns of 
        Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the surrounding region;
          ``(2) Baltimore/Washington International Airport, owned and 
        operated by Maryland, is an air transportation facility that 
        provides service to the greater Metropolitan Washington region 
        together with the 2 federally owned airports, and timely 
        Federal-aid grants to Baltimore/Washington International 
        Airport will provide additional capacity to meet the growing 
        air traffic needs and to compete with other airports on a fair 
        basis;
          ``(3) the United States Government has a continuing but 
        limited interest in the operation of the two federally owned 
        airports, which serve the travel and cargo needs of the entire 
        Metropolitan Washington region as well as the District of 
        Columbia as the national seat of government;
          ``(4) operation of the Metropolitan Washington Airports by an 
        independent local authority will facilitate timely improvements 
        at both airports to meet the growing demand of interstate air 
        transportation occasioned by the Airline Deregulation Act of 
        1978 (Public Law 95-504; 92 Stat. 1705);
          ``(5) all other major air carrier airports in the United 
        States are operated by public entities at the State, regional, 
        or local level;
          ``(6) any change in status of the 2 airports must take into 
        account the interest of nearby communities, the traveling 
        public, air carriers, general aviation, airport employees, and 
        other interested groups, as well as the interests of the United 
        States Government and State governments involved;
          ``(7) in recognition of a perceived limited need for a 
        Federal role in the management of these airports and the 
        growing local interest, the Secretary of Transportation has 
        recommended a transfer of authority from the Federal to the 
        local/State level that is consistent with the management of 
        major airports elsewhere in the United States;
          ``(8) an operating authority with representation from local 
        jurisdictions, similar to authorities at all major airports in 
        the United States, will improve communications with local 
        officials and concerned residents regarding noise at the 
        Metropolitan Washington Airports;
          ``(9) a commission of congressional, State, and local 
        officials and aviation representatives has recommended to the 
        Secretary that transfer of the federally owned airports be as a 
        unit to an independent authority to be created by Virginia and 
        the District of Columbia; and
          ``(10) the Federal interest in these airports can be provided 
        through a lease mechanism which provides for local control and 
        operation.
``Sec. 49102. Purpose
  ``(a) General.--The purpose of this chapter is to authorize the 
transfer of operating responsibility under long-term lease of the 2 
Metropolitan Washington Airport properties as a unit, including access 
highways and other related facilities, to a properly constituted 
independent airport authority created by Virginia and the District of 
Columbia, in order to achieve local control, management, operation, and 
development of these important transportation assets.
  ``(b) Inclusion of Baltimore/Washington International Airport Not 
Precluded.--This chapter does not prohibit the Airports Authority and 
Maryland from making an agreement to make Baltimore/Washington 
International Airport part of a regional airports authority, subject to 
terms agreed to by the Airports Authority, the Secretary of 
Transportation, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.
