                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 2008

  Mr. HOBSON. Madam Speaker, in accordance with the February 2008 New 
Republican Earmark Standards Guidance, I submit the following (dollar 
figure for which is to be adjusted to reflect totals actually provided 
in the bill):
  Requesting Member: Congressman David L. Hobson
  Bill Number: FY 09 Military Construction/Veterans Affairs 
Appropriations Bill
  Account: Title I, Department of Defense, Military Construction
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Ohio National Guard
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2825 West Dublin-Granville Road
  Columbus, Ohio 43235-2789
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $12,800,000 to fund 
acceleration of construction of a facility to relocate the Ohio Air 
National Guard's 269th Combat Communications Squadron and 251st Combat 
Communications Group to another part of the Springfield, Ohio Air 
National Guard Base. The current 25 year old facility is obsolete and 
places severe restrictions on the ability to perform equipment 
maintenance and conduct training operations. It does not comply with 
existing codes and has excessive operations and maintenance costs. The 
current building can be reused for other functions but cannot be made 
functionally adequate for the communications mission.
