        ``Works of improvement''--any undertaking for--
        (1) Lflood prevention (including structural and land 
        treatment measures),
        (2) Lthe conservation, development, utilization, and

        thousand five hundred acre-feet of floodwater detention 
        capacity, and more than twenty-five thousand acre-feet 
        of total capacity. No appropriation shall be made for 
        any plan involving an estimated Federal contribution to 
        construction costs in excess of $5,000,000, or which 
        includes any structure which provides more than twenty-
        five hundred acre-feet of total capacity unless such 
        plan has been approved by resolutions adopted by the 
        appropriate committees of the Senate and House of 
        Representatives: Provided, That in the case of any plan 
        involving no single structure providing more than 4,000 
        acre-feet of total capacity the appropriate committees 
        shall be the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and 
        Forestry of the Senate and the Committee on Agriculture 
        of the House of Representatives and in the case of any

        communities, that account for at least 20 percent of 
        the total benefits of the project. A number of such 
        subwatersheds when they are component parts of a larger 
        watershed may be planned together when the local 
        sponsoring organizations so desire.
    ``Local organization''--any State, political subdivision 
thereof, soil or water conservation district, flood prevention 
or control district, or combinations thereof, or any other 
agency having authority under State law to carry out, maintain 
and operate the works of improvement; or any irrigation or 
reservoir company, water users' association, or similar 
organization having such authority and not being operated for 
profit that may be approved by the Secretary; or any Indian

                      PUBLIC BUILDING RESOLUTIONS

Title 40. United States Code. (Public Buildings, Property, and Works)
            Chapter 12. Construction, Alteration, and Acquisition of 
                    Public Buildings
Sec.  606. Approval of proposed projects by Congress

    (a) Limitation of funds; transmission to Congress of 
prospectus of proposed project

    In order to insure the equitable distribution of public 
buildings throughout the United States with due regard for the 
comparative urgency of need for such buildings, except as 
provided in section 603 of this title, no appropriation shall 
be made to construct, alter, purchase, or to acquire any 
building to be used as a public building which involves a total 
expenditure in excess of $1,500,000 if such construction, 
alteration, purchase, or acquisition has not been approved by 
resolutions adopted by the Committee on Public Works of the 
Senate and House of Representatives, respectively. No 
appropriations shall be made to lease any space at an average 
annual rental in excess of $1,500,000 for use for public 
purposes if such lease has not been approved by resolutions 
adopted by the Committee on Public Works of the Senate and 
House of Representatives, respectively. No appropriation shall 
be made to alter any building, or part thereof, which is under 
lease by the United States for use for a public purpose if the 
cost of such alteration would exceed $750,000 unless such 
alteration has been approved by resolutions adopted by the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the 
Committee on Public Works and Transportation of the House of 
Representatives. For the purpose of securing consideration for 
such approval, the Administrator shall transmit to the Congress 
a prospectus of the proposed facility, including (but not 
limited to)--

        (1) La brief description of the building to be 
        constructed, altered, purchased, acquired, or the space 
        to be leased under this chapter;
        (2) Lthe location of the building or space to be leased 
        and an estimate of the maximum to the United States of 
        the facility to be constructed, altered, purchased, 
        acquired, or the space to be leased;
        (3) La comprehensive plan for providing space for all 
        Government officers and employees in the locality of 
        the proposed facility or the space to be leased, having 
        due regard for suitable space which may continue to be 
        available in existing Government-owned or occupied 
        buildings, especially such of those buildings as 
        enhance the architectural, historical, social, 
        cultural, and economic environment of the locality;
        (4) Lwith respect to any project for the construction, 
        alteration, purchase, or acquisition of any building, a 
        statement by the Administrator that suitable space 
        owned by the Government is not available and that 
        suitable rental space is not available at a price 
        commensurate with that to be afforded through the 
        proposed action;
        (5) La statement by the Administrator of the economic 
        and other justifications for not acquiring or 
        purchasing a building or buildings identified to the 
        Administrator pursuant to section 611(c) of this title 
        as suitable for the public building needs of the 
        Federal Government; and
        (6) La statement of rents and other housing costs 
        currently being paid by the Government for Federal 
        agencies to be housed in the building to be 
        constructed, altered, purchased, acquired, or the space 
        to be leased.

    (b) Increase of estimated maximum cost

    The estimated maximum cost of any project approved under 
this section as set forth in any prospectus may be increased by 
an amount equal to the percentage increase, if any, as 
determined by the Administrator, in construction, or alteration 
costs, as the case may be, from the date of transmittal of such 
prospectus to Congress, but in no event shall the increase 
authorized by this subsection exceed 10 per centum of such 
estimated maximum cost.

    (c) Rescission of approval for failure to make 
appropriations for project

    In the case of any project approved for construction, 
alteration, or acquisition by the Committees on Public Works of 
the Senate and of the House of Representatives, respectively, 
in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, for which an 
appropriation has not been made within one year after the date 
of such approval, either the Committee on Public Works of the 
Senate or the Committee on Public Works of the House of 
Representatives, may rescind, by resolution, its approval of 
such project at any time thereafter before such an 
appropriation has been made.

    (d) Emergency leases by the Administrator

    Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the 
Administrator from entering into emergency leases during any 
period declared by the President to require such emergency 
leasing authority, except that no such emergency lease shall be 
for a period of more than 180 days without approval of a 
prospectus for such lease in accordance with subsection (a) of 
this section.

    (e) Limitation on leasing certain space

        (1) General rule
          The Administrator may not lease any space to 
        accommodate--
                (A) Lcomputer and telecommunications 
                operations;
                (B) Lsecure or sensitive activities related to 
                the national defense or security, except in any 
                case in which it would be inappropriate to 
                locate such activities in a public building or 
                other facility identified with the United 
                States Government; or
                (C) La permanent courtroom, judicial chamber, 
                or administrative office for any United States 
                court; if the average rental cost of leasing 
                such space would exceed $1,500,000.
        (2) Exception
          The Administrator may lease any space with respect to 
        which paragraph (1) applies if the Administrator first 
        determines, for reasons set forth in writing, that 
        leasing such space is necessary to meet requirements 
        which cannot be met in public buildings and submits 
        such reasons to the Committee on Environment and Public 
        Works of the Senate and the Committee on Public Works 
        and Transportation of the House of Representatives.

    (f) Dollar amount adjustment

    Any dollar amount referred to in this section and section 
603(b) of this title may be adjusted by the Administrator 
annually to reflect a percentage increase or decrease in 
construction costs during the preceding calendar year, as 
determined by the composite index of construction costs of the 
Department of Commerce. Any such adjustment shall be 
expeditiously reported to the Committee on Environment and 
Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on Public Works 
and Transportation of the House of Representatives.
