  Mr. WAMP. Madam Speaker, as a leader on earmark reform among House 
Republicans, I am committed to honoring House Republican rules that 
provide for greater transparency. The Fiscal Year 2009 Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriation Act 
contains the following funding that I requested:

  Requesting Member: Rep. Zach Wamp.
  Bill Number: H.R. 5658.
  Account: Military Construction, Army National Guard.
  Legal Name Requesting Entity: Tennessee National Guard.
  Address: 3041 Sidco Drive, Nashville, TN.
  Description of Request: $10,372,000 for the construction of a new 
Army National Guard Readiness Center to replace the inadequate 
Readiness Center that was constructed in 1954. The existing facility 
has numerous health and safety issues as well as significant electrical 
code issues, and ADA violations. The new facility will house the 20th 
Troop Command, and the Company Headquarters of the 1175th 
Transportation Company. This project is in the Army National Guard's 
Fiscal Year 2012 Future Year Defense Plan.
