        LEASE--U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS, BALTIMORE, MD

       Resolved by the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure of the United States House of Representatives, 
     that pursuant to 40 U.S.C. Sec. 3307, appropriations are 
     authorized for a lease of up to 112,624 net usable square 
     feet of space, and 800 parking spaces, for the U.S. 
     Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) for a Community Based 
     Outpatient Clinic in Baltimore, MD to replace an existing 
     lease at a proposed unserviced annual cost of $6,479,000 for 
     a lease term of up to 20 years, a prospectus for which is 
     attached to and included in this resolution.
       Approval of this prospectus constitutes authority to 
     execute an interim lease for all tenants, if necessary, prior 
     to the execution of the new lease.
       Provided that, to the maximum extent practicable, the 
     Administrator shall include in the lease contract(s) a 
     purchase option that can be exercised at the conclusion of 
     the firm term of the lease.
       Provided further, if the General Services Administration 
     delegates to any other agency the authority granted by this 
     resolution, the Administrator of General Services shall 
     oversee and monitor such delegation of authority to ensure 
     such delegation is carried out consistent with the law and 
     authority provided.
       Provided further, that the Administrator shall require that 
     the delineated area of the procurement is identical to the 
     delineated area included in the prospectus, except that, if 
     the Administrator determines that the delineated area of the 
     procurement should not be identical to the delineated area 
     included in the prospectus, the Administrator shall provide 
     an explanatory statement to the Committee on Transportation 
     and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives prior to 
     exercising any lease authority provided in this resolution.
       Provided further, not later than 30 calendar days after the 
     date on which a request from the Chairman or Ranking Member 
     of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
     House of Representatives is received by the Administrator of 
     General Services, the Administrator shall provide such Member 
     a response in writing that provides any information requested 
     regarding the project.
       Provided further, prior to entering into this lease or 
     approving a novation agreement involving a change of 
     ownership under this lease, the Administrator of General 
     Services shall require the offeror or the parties requesting 
     the novation, as applicable, to identify and disclose whether 
     the owner of the leased space, including an entity involved 
     in the financing thereof, is a foreign person or a foreign-
     owned entity; provided further, in such an instance, the 
     Administrator of General Services shall notify the occupant 
     agency(ies) in writing, and consult with such occupant 
     agency(ies) regarding security concerns and necessary 
     mitigation measures (if any) prior to award of the lease or 
     approval of the novation agreement.
       Provided further, the Administrator of General Services 
     shall require tenant agency(ies) to agree to reporting actual 
     utilization data on at least an annual basis during occupancy
