       At the end of subtitle D of title XXVIII, add the 
     following:

     SEC. 2865. LEASE EXTENSION FOR BRYAN MULTI-SPORTS COMPLEX, 
                   WAYNE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.

       (a) Authority.--The Secretary of the Air Force may extend 
     to the City of Goldsboro the existing lease of the 
     approximately 62-acre Bryan Multi-Sports Complex located in 
     Wayne County, North Carolina, for the purpose of operating a 
     sports and recreation facility for the benefit of both the 
     Air Force and the community.
       (b) Duration.--At the option of the Secretary of the Air 
     Force, the lease entered into under this section may be 
     extended for up to 30 additional years with a total lease 
     period not to exceed 50 years.
       (c) Payments Under the Lease.--The Secretary of the Air 
     Force may waive the requirement under section 2667(b)(4) of 
     title 10, United States Code, with respect to the lease 
     entered into under this section if the Secretary determines 
     that the lease enhances the quality of life of members of the 
     Armed Forces.
       (d) Sense of Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate 
     regarding the conditions governing the extension of the 
     current lease for the Bryan Multi-Sports Complex that--
       (1) the Senate has determined it is in the best interest of 
     the community and the Air Force to extend the lease at no 
     cost;
       (2) the current lease allowed the Air Force to close their 
     sports field on Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base and resulted 
     in a savings of $15,000 per year in utilities and grounds 
     maintenance costs;
       (3) the current sports complex reduces force protection 
     vulnerability now that the sports complex is located outside 
     the fence line of the installation; and
       (4) the facility has improved the quality of life for 
     military families stationed at Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base 
     by allowing members of the Armed Forces and their families to 
     have access to world class sports facilities located adjacent 
     to the installation and on-base privatized housing with easy 
     access by junior enlisted members residing in the dorms.
