                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 25, 2008

  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. 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 amendments to Senate 
amendments to H.R. 2638, Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance and 
Continuing Appropriations Act.
  Name of Requesting Member: Gresham Barrett.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account Number: 33 0603005A Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced 
Technology.
  Name and address of requesting entity: The entity to receive funding 
for this project is TC Designs, LLC., located in Charleston and 
Pickens, South Carolina.
  Description of earmark including amount and spending plan: I am 
requesting $2.0 million of funding. This funding will be used for floor 
protection for Humvees for increased IED countermeasure protection for 
US military personnel. The Humvees will receive a Tom Cat V-shaped hull 
with integral up armor that is less than 800 pounds. The unique design 
of this hull protection is specifically designed to be light enough for 
the Humvee, but strong enough to resist and deflect blast. I certify 
that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on the 
pecuniary interests of my spouse or me.
