     foregoing limitation shall not apply if the lease is entered 
     into with a publicly-held corporation or publicly-held entity 
     for the general benefit of such corporation or entity.
       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

     lease procurement consider the availability of public 
     transportation consistent with agency mission requirements 
     and that the space to be leased be renovated for all cost

     to the execution of the new lease.
       Provided that, the Administrator of General Services and

     above, the Administrator may not enter into any leases that 
     are below prospectus level for the purposes of meeting any of 
     the requirements, or portions thereof, included in the

     of 430 square feet or higher per person.
       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, that the General Services Administration

     by this resolution.
       Provided further, that the Administrator shall require that 
     the delineated area of the procurement is identical to the

     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.

     a response in writing that provides any information requested 
     regarding the project.
       Provided further, the Administrator of General Services may 
     not enter into this lease if it does not contain a provision 
     barring any individual holding a Federally-elected office, 
     regardless of whether such individual took office before or 
     after execution of this lease, to directly participate in, or 
     benefit from or under this lease or any part thereof and that 
     such provision provide that if this lease is found to have 
     been made in violation of the foregoing prohibition or it is 
     found that this prohibition has been violated during the term 
     of the lease, the lease shall be void, except that the 
     foregoing limitation shall not apply if the lease is entered 
     into with a publicly-held corporation or publicly-held entity 
     for the general benefit of such corporation or entity.
       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 that, to the maximum extent practicable, the 
     Administrator of General Services shall require that the 
     lease procurement consider the availability of public 
     transportation consistent with agency mission requirements 
     and that the space to be leased be renovated for all cost 
     effective improvements, including renewable energy upgrades, 
     water efficiency improvements, and indoor air quality 
     optimization, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
