him to the bill S. 2943, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year
2017 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle I of title X, add the following:

SEC. 1097. ELIGIBILITY FOR AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT GRANTS OF
AIRPORTS THAT ENTER INTO CERTAIN LEASES WITH
COMPONENTS OF THE ARMED FORCES.

Section 47107 of title 49, United States Code, amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(t) Airports That Enter Into Certain Leases With the
Armed Forces.--The Secretary of Transportation may not
disapprove a project grant application under this subchapter
for an airport development project at an airport solely
because the airport renews a lease for the use, at a nominal
rate, of airport property by a regular or reserve component
of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, without
regard to whether that component operates aircraft at the
airport.''.
