                      Thursday, September 25, 2008

  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Repubublican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information for 
publication in the Congressional Record regarding earmarks I received 
as part of H.R. 2638, The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, 
and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009. The following are the 
Department of Defense and Military Construction projects I have 
requested that have received funding approval:
  Project Name: N-STEP Enabled Manufacturing Cell for Future Combat 
Systems.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: RDTE, A.
  Requesting Entity: Joint Systems Manufacturing Center/General 
Dynamics; 1161 Buckeye Road, Lima, Ohio 45804.
  Project Description and Amount: Joint Systems Manufacturing Center-
Lima (JSMC) has developed, designed, installed and implemented an N-
STEP Enabled Reconfigurable Manufacturing Cell and has completed 
performance demonstration phases using automatic processes. To make the 
core equipment production ready for FCS, specific weld process 
development using the Friction Appurtenance Welder, FAW, must be 
completed. This funding request will provide for the necessary 
technical resources required to develop the weld machine parameters/
specifications for support of vehicle production activities. 
$2,400,000.
  Project Name: Electronic Motion Actuation Systems.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: RDTE, N.
  Requesting Entity: Moog: FloTork Facility, 1701 North Main Street, 
P.O. Box 68, Orrville, Ohio 44667.
  Project Description and Amount: The purpose of the project is to 
develop shipboard-qualified prototype electric actuators and 
demonstrate their satisfactory performance in shipboard applications. 
Successful completion of the technology will reduce shipboard personnel 
and reduce repair and maintenance costs. The Department of the Navy has 
repeatedly stated its desire for an all-electric ship. The target ship 
for this concept is the DDX which is due to hit the water in 2010. 
Environmental hazards associated with hydraulic systems will also be 
eliminated by moving to an electric actuator. $800,000.
  Project Name: Barracks, Camp Perry Training Site, Port Clinton, Ohio.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: Department of Defense, Army National Guard.
  Military Facility Address: Ohio National Guard, Camp Perry Training 
Site, 1000 Lawrence Road, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452.
  Project Description and Amount: Provide $2 million in P-341, 
unspecified minor military construction, funds pursuant to Title 10 
U.S. Code 2805, to construct a new 80-bed baracks at the Ohio National 
Guard's Camp Perry Training Site, Port Clinton, OH. The request will 
increase the readiness of our servicemen and women in the Ohio National 
Guard and help them better prepare for the challenges they face both at 
home and abroad. $2,000,000.
