dren, except in the case that the Secretary determines that housing 
unaccompanied alien children in such a facility is necessary on 
a temporary basis due to an influx of such children or an emergency, 
provided that— 
(1) the terms of the grant or contract for the operations 
of any such facility that remains in operation for more than
