                     Wednesday, September 24, 2008

  Mr. PETERSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding earmarks I requested and were included 
in H. Res. 1488, Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to 
the bill (H.R. 2638) making appropriations for the Department of 
Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and 
for other purposes. Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy 
on earmarks, I hereby certify that to the best of my knowledge this 
earmark: (1) is not directed to an entity or program that will be named 
after a sitting Member of Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by 
an entity to secure funds for other entities unless the use of funding 
is consistent with the specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets 
or exceeds all statutory requirements for matching funds where 
applicable.
  Member: Congressman John E. Peterson.
  Bill Number: H. Res. 1488 (H.R. 2638).
  Provision: RDTE, N, Line# 183, PE# 0205633N.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Impact Technologies.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2571 Park Center Blvd., State College,

  Description of Project: This project provides $2.4 million for FY09 
in the DoD RDTE account for F/A-18 Avionics. The entity to receive

control fault isolation, repair, and management at different support 
levels.
