"(2) A lease may only be made under paragraph (1) if the Secretary concerned finds that there is a shortage of adequate housing at or near such military installation and that— "(A) the requirement for such housing is temporary; "(B) leasing would be more cost effective than construction or acquisition of new housing; "(C) family housing is required for personnel attending service school academic courses on permanent change of station orders; "(D) construction of family housing at such installation has been authorized by law but is not yet completed; or "(E) a military construction authorization bill pending in Congress includes a request for authorization of construction of family housing at such installation.
