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:
  Congressman Chris Cannon. H.R. 2638.
  Account: FY09 Defense, Air Force Procurement, 048 C-130.
  Project: SENIOR SCOUT Beyond Line-of-Sight, BLOS, Satcom Data Link 
Project.
  Recipient: L3 Communication Systems West, located at 6400 North 2200 
West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116.
  Description: It is my understanding that the $7 million will be used 
to upgrade the SENIOR SCOUT system to increase connectivity and data 
rates for real-time Reachback and dissemination of intelligence to 
national and tactical consumers.
  Spending Plan: The $7 million in funds will be used for two fixed-
site SATCOM Earth Terminals supporting SENIOR SCOUT missions. One fixed 
site would be located in the CONUS for exploitation/analysis of SENIOR 
SCOUT data and the second site would be Out-of-CONUS supporting Theater 
tactical operations.
  Congressman Chris Cannon. H.R. 2638.
  Account: Aircraft Procurement 001 F-35.
  Project: Automated Composite Technologies and Manufacturing Center 
Project.
  Recipient: Alliant Techsystems, ATK, located at Bldg. B14, Freeport 
Center, Clearfield, UT.
  Description: It is my understanding that the $5 million will be used 
to scale-up enhanced fiber placement processing technologies.
  Spending Plan: The program will provide improved military capability 
to fulfill an unmet requirement or need identified by the Department of 
Defense. Funding execution and expenditure plans shall be developed and 
approved by the responsible program manager for the Department of 
Defense, Military Service or Department of Defense Agency, pursuant to 
applicable federal acquisition laws, regulations and guidelines.
  Congressman Chris Cannon. H.R. 2638.
  Account: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 33 0603005A

Fork, UT 84660.
  Description: It is my understanding that the $2 million will be used 
for the Joint, All-terrain, Modular Mobility Asset (JAMMA) family of 
vehicles which is designed to greatly enhance mission performance and 
survivability and become a force multiplier for all U.S. conventional 
and special operations forces.
  Spending Plan: The funds will be used for building test article JAMMA 
vehicles for User Group validation, for advanced requirements testing, 
and for refinement of the design in regards to lowering the

systems to the combatant forces. The addition of CDL to space-based 
military ISR and commercial remote sensing platforms allows in-theater 
tasking collaboration, collection and dissemination that can take place 
in real-time by the war fighter using existing deployed CDL ground 
infrastructure to support multi-layered sensor networks for air, space, 
and cyber domains.
  Spending Plan: The funds will be used to continue work directed by 
the Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright Patterson AFB. Specifically

Sensor, FOCAVES, technology for the next generation SSN, Virginia Block 
IV, and the follow-on Ballistic Missile Submarine. These systems need 
to be demonstrated in the 2009-2010 timeframe to support future ship 
sonar acquisition efforts.
  Spending Plan: Complete development and fabrication of a SSN FOCAVES 
Wide Aperture Array Panel. Conduct integration and testing of the 
FOCAVES panel Begin risk reduction simulation/stimulation and testing 
at Lake Seneca.
