SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 38 U.S.C. 8161 et seq. states that the
Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he determines that
implementation of a business plan proposed by the Under Secretary for
Health for applying the consideration under such a lease for the
provision of medical care and services would result in a demonstrable
improvement of services to eligible veterans in the geographic service-
delivery area within which the property is located. This project meets
this requirement.

Approved: June 10, 2008.
James B. Peake,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
