The Administrator shall give consideration, in determining the projects for which such fund is to be so used, to the existing airport facilities in the several States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, and to the need for or lack of development of airport facilities in the several States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands."
