                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 30, 2008

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:

  Requesting Member: Congressman Henry E. Brown, Jr.
   Bill Number: H.R. 6599--Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, 2009.
   Account: Military Construction, Air Force.
   Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Charleston Air Force Base, United 
States Air Force.
   Address of Requesting Entity: Charleston Air Force Base, South 
Carolina, 29404.
   Description of Project: Provide $4.5 million for construction of an 
addition to C-17 flight simulator complex at Charleston AFB. This 
addition, which was included in the Administration's Fiscal Year 2009 
Budget Request, will allow the facility to accommodate a new six-axis 
flight simulator and loadmaster trainer with space for computers, 
briefing rooms, component and facility storage and other needed space. 
Training needs of the aircrews have exceeded the capabilities of the 
existing three simulators. If this new simulator space is not provided, 
established training goals will not be achieved at an airbase that 
currently houses two wings of C-17s currently meeting the needs of our 
troops deployed abroad.
