       In title I of division D, insert the following after 
     section 119F:
       Sec. 119G.  Of the funds provided under the heading 
     ``Grants-in-aid for Airports'', up to $1,500,000 shall be for 
     necessary expenses, including an independent verification 
     regime, to provide reimbursement to airport sponsors that do 
     not provide gateway operations and providers of general 
     aviation ground support services located at airports within 
     the 30-mile temporary flight restriction (TFR) area for any 
     residence of the President that is designated or identified 
     to be secured by the United States Secret Service, and for 
     direct and incremental financial losses incurred while such 
     operators or service providers are subject to operating 
     restrictions solely due to the actions of the Federal 
     Government:  Provided, That no funds shall be obligated or 
     distributed to airport sponsors that do not provide gateway 
     operations and providers of general aviation ground support 
     services until an independent audit is completed:  Provided 
     further, That losses incurred as a result of violations of 
     law, or through fault or negligence, of such operators and 
     service providers or of third parties (including airports) 
     are not eligible for reimbursements:  Provided further, That 
     obligation and expenditure of funds are conditional upon full 
     release of the United States Government for all claims for 
     financial losses resulting from such actions:  Provided 
     further, That the Secretary shall give priority to funding 
     applicants with the most significant, documented financial 
     losses due to these temporary flight restrictions:  Provided 
     further, That no funds shall be obligated or distributed 
     under this section to such operators or service providers 
     that received reimbursement under section 119F.
