    Upon occupancy by the United States of the building and other 
improvements constructed under this chapter, the structural and 
mechanical care and maintenance of such building and improvements 
(including the care and maintenance of the grounds of such building) 
shall be the responsibility of the Architect, under the direction of the 
Commission, in the same manner and to the same extent as the structural 
and mechanical care and maintenance of the United States Supreme Court 
Building under section 13a of this title, and all other duties and work 
required for the operation and domestic care of such building and 
improvements shall be performed by the Architect, under the direction of

    exterior security of the building and other improvements constructed 
    under this chapter.

               (2) Authority of Supreme Court Marshal

        Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to interfere with the 
    obligation of the Marshal of the Supreme Court of the United States 
    to protect justices, officers, employees, or other personnel of the 
    Supreme Court who may occupy the building and other improvements.

                          (3) Reimbursement

    appropriation account charged by the United States Capitol Police in 
    executing the performance of security duties.
