FINDINGS.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS. The Congress finds that— (1) there is a dire and immediate need for increased space for the criminal justice system and for Federal agencies to operate in the City of New York; (2) the action of condemnation of certain lands would speed the process of providing additional space for such needs; (3) condemnation procedures authorized in this Act are required to address a specific dire and immediate need, and should not be precedents for action by the Congress or other Federal agencies; (4) community input is essential to the successful completion of construction projects such as those authorized in the Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1988; (5) before and during construction of buildings referred to in the first sentence of section 8(a) of the Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1988, the Administrator of General Services should consult on an ongoing basis with the community board for such building to solicit its input; (6) environmental reviews are essential to the successful completion of construction projects such as those authorized in the Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1988; and (7) in the construction of buildings referred to in the first sentence of section 8(a) of the Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1988, all federally mandated environmental reviews, as required by environmental laws, should be conducted and closely monitored.
