The Congress makes the following findings and declarations:

(2) Orderly development of the Capitol Grounds should be consistent with the Master Plan for the United States Capitol, dated 1981.
(3) The cost of leasing space by the judicial branch of the Government is high.
(4) Development of squares 721 and 722 in the District of Columbia is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Union Station Redevelopment Act [40 U.S.C. 811 et seq.] and the revitalization of the Union Station area.
(5) The Judicial Conference of the United States endorsed by resolution the construction of an office building on the Capitol Grounds to house the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and related judicial branch offices.
(b) PurposesThe purposes of this chapter are as follows:
(1) To implement the report submitted to Congress by the Architect and the Secretary of Transportation under the Act of December 28, 1985 (99 Stat. 1749–1750), relating to the needs of the Federal judiciary for additional Federal office space.
(2) To authorize the Architect to acquire by lease space primarily for use by the judicial branch of the Government by entering into contracts for the design and construction of a building adjacent to Union Station.
