  Mr. TURNER. Madam Speaker, I submit the following: for the 
Congressional Record regarding Member requests associated with the 
FY2009 CRH.R. 2638 Homeland Security Appropriations Act.
  1. Project--Integrated Electrical Starter/Generator (IES/G).
  Requesting Member: Michael Turner.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: Air Force, RDT&E.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Air Force Research Laboratory.
  Address of Requesting Entity: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 
Dayton, OH.
  Description of Request: $1,600,000 is appropriated for an Integrated 
Electrical Starter/Generator in fiscal year 2009. The entity to receive 
funding for this project is Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright 
Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH. The funding would be used to 
help develop a pre-prototype, sensorless IES/G to demonstrate the 
feasibility of supplying both main engine start function and the 
electrical power necessary to operate all aircraft systems. I certify 
that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this 
project.
  2. Production of Nanocomposites for Aeorospace Applications.

Dayton, OH.
  Description of Request: $1,600,000 is appropriated for the Production 
of Nanocomposites for Aerospace Applications in fiscal year 2009. The 
entity to receive funding for this project is the Air Force Research 
Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH. The 
funding will transition nanomaterials technology into Air Force 
applications. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial 
interest in this project.
  3. Project--Security Forces Operations Facility.
  Requesting Member: Michael Turner.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: Air Force, Mil Con.
