SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs is

Medical Center, at 1481 West Tenth Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, as a 
site for an Enhanced-Use lease development. The Department intends to 
enter into a 35-year lease of real property to the developer who 
provides the Department with the greatest economic advantages. As part 
of the development, the Department will be seeking to obtain skilled 
nursing home care services and other ``in-kind'' considerations, as 
well as promoting the sharing of services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 38 U.S.C. Sec 8161 et seq., specifically 
provides that the Secretary may enter into an Enhanced-Use Lease, if 
the Secretary determines that at least part of the use of the property 
under the lease will be to provide appropriate space for an activity 
contributing to the mission of the Department; the lease will not be 
inconsistent with and will not adversely affect the mission of the 
Department; and the lease will enhance the property. This project meets 
these requirements.

    Approved: July 31, 1997.

Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
