  Mr. HULSHOF. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kenny Hulshof.
  Bill Number: H.R. 5658, Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2009.
  Account: Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, Budget Activity 02, Airlift 
Aircraft, C-17.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: The Boeing Company.
  Address of Requesting Entity: The Boeing Company, P.O. Box 516, St. 
Louis, MO, 63166.
  Description of Request: The C-17 is the world's most effective and 
flexible strategic/tactical airlifter. The C-17 has revolutionized the 
movement of troops and equipment into battle by allowing their delivery 
to parts of the world that were previously not accessible by 
conventional airlifters. As per Air Force Unfunded Priority List (UPL) 
#6, C-17 (+ 15 aircraft), $3.9B, procures 15 C-17s, keeping only active 
strategic airlift production line open (and part of ``required'' force 
as per this UPL).
