                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 31, 2008

  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I received as part of H.R. 6599, Military Construction and 
Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act for FY 2009
  Account: Military Construction, Army National Guard.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Florida Army National Guard.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 400 S. Monroe Street, Tallahassee, 
Florida 32399.
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $20,907,000 for 
construction of Phase IV of the Regional Training Institute (RTI), 
Project Number 120191, located at Camp Blanding, Starke, Florida 32091. 
It is my understanding that the Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG) 
and Army National Guard readiness will be affected if the school cannot 
adequately accomplish its mission to educate and train soldiers. This 
final phase will finish construction of the remaining 65,000 square 
feet of billeting, all remaining infrastructure, supporting facilities, 
and all necessary work not completed in the prior phases to support and 
house students attending the courses at the training institute.
