                      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: 050 Field Medical Equipment.
  Name and address of requesting entity: The entity to receive funding 
for this project is North American Rescue Products, located at 481 
Garlington Road, Suite A, Greenville, South Carolina 29615.
  Description of earmark including amount and spending plan: I am 
requesting $3.2 million of funding for Combat Casualty Care Equipment 
Upgrade. The funding would be used for developing equipment for navy 
surface ships to improve field medical equipment to meet the stringent 
requirements of today's counter-insurgency combat operations and 
littoral warfare. The state-of-the-art lifesaving medical capabilities 
of this program will equip navy Medical Corpsman and USMC tactical 
units such items as lightweight NATO compatible litters, vehicle on-
board lifesaving kits, individual combat lifesaving kits, and high 
threat extraction kits. This program benefits U.S. military personnel 
through unique lifesaving and trauma-mitigating field medical 
equipment. I certify that this project does not have a direct and 
foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of my spouse or me.
