SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 1770. Allotment of space in Federal buildings
Upon application by any credit union organized under State law or by
any Federal credit union organized in accordance with the terms of this
chapter, which application shall be addressed to the officer or agency
of the United States charged with the allotment of space in the Federal
buildings in the community or district in which such credit union does
business, such officer or agency may in his or its discretion allot
space to such credit union without charge for rent or services if at
least 95 percent of the membership of the credit union to be served by
the allotment of space is composed of persons who either are presently
Federal employees or were Federal employees at the time of admission
into the credit union, and members of their families, and if space is
available. For the purpose of this section, the term ``services''
includes, but is not limited to, the providing of lighting, heating,
cooling, electricity, office furniture, office machines and equipment,
telephone service (including installation of lines and equipment and
other expenses associated with telephone service), and security systems
(including installation and other expenses associated with security
systems). Where there is an agreement for the payment of costs
associated with the provision of space or services, nothing in title 31
or any other provision of law, shall be construed to prohibit or
restrict payment by reimbursement to the miscellaneous receipts or other
appropriate account of the Treasury.
