provides that the Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he

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 or result in improved services to 
veterans. This project meets these requirements.
