  Mr. CARTER. 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 the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 2638, 
the Department of Homeland Security, 2008.
  Requesting Member: Congressman John R. Carter.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: FEMA State and Local Programs.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Texas Engineering Extension Service.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 301 Tarrow, College Station, TX 77840.
  Description of Request: I requested $23 million for the National 
Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (NERRTC) in the FY09 
Homeland Security Appropriations bill. The entity to receive funding 
for this is the Texas Engineering Extension Service. It is my 
understanding that $23 million will be used to provide training courses 
and programs to train our Nation's emergency responders. Courses are 
delivered on a rolling basis as directed by DHS. These efforts take 
place year-round until all the appropriated funding is expended.
