  Mr. LUCAS. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:
  Title: Earmark Declaration.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank Lucas.
  Date: September 29, 2008.
  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 H.R. 
2638.
  Account: Defense-wide, RDT&E.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma State University.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 101 Whitehurst, Stillwater, Oklahoma, 
USA.
  Description of Request: I received an earmark of $1,600,000 for the 
University Multi-Spectral Laboratory (UML) and Analytical Services 
Center (ASCENT). This funding will be used to perform testing, 
integration and commercialization of chemical, biological, 
radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) and command, control, 
communications, computers, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance 
(C4ISR) sensor-related technologies. This project is a SOCOM/Oklahoma 
State University collaboration. It will fuse academic, technical, and 
tactical assets and provide education and training to facilitate rapid 
movement of new technical concepts to marketable products via 
technology transfer. It will further supply a secure facility for 
sensitive research, as needed.
  (2) Account: Defense-wide, RDT&E.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma State University.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 101 Whitehurst, Stillwater, Oklahoma, 
USA.
  Description of Request: I received an earmark of $2,000,000 for the 
Aging Systems Sustainment and Enabling Technologies (ASSET) program. 
This funding will be used for the ASSET program to develop, test, and 
transfer cost-effective logistics support technologies to reduce the 
costs associated with support of aging weapons systems and aircraft. 
The ASSET program addresses DOD needs for procuring replacement parts 
for aging systems and aircraft, and helps DOD confront problems 
associated with corrosion.
  (3) Account: Defense-wide, RDT&E.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma State University.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 101 Whitehurst, Stillwater, Oklahoma, 
USA.
  Description of Request: I received an earmark of $1,200,000 for the 
National Repository of Digital Forensic Intelligence (NRDFI) and the 
Center for Telecommunications and Network Security (CTANS). This 
funding will be used for CTANS in collaboration with Defense Cyber 
Crimes Center (DC3) to design and construct a repository for digital 
forensic intelligence in an effort to increase efficiency and 
effectiveness of analysts and investigators. This tool has the 
potential to greatly increase efficiency and effectiveness of analysts 
and investigators, whether working in foreign intelligence or criminal 
prosecution.
