  Mr. TANCREDO. 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 H.R. 2638.
  Defense Division of H.R. 2638--OM, ARNG--Non-foam, Special Polymer 
Twin Hemisphere Pad Sets for Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops 
Helmet Retrofit Kits--$1,280,000.
  Defense Division of H.R. 2638--OM, N--Personnel Armor System for 
Ground Troops Helmet Retrofit Kits to Sustain Navy IPE Pool--
$1,120,000.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: SKYDEX Technologies, Inc.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 12503 E. Euclid Drive, Suite 60, 
Centennial, Colorado 80111.
  Description of Request: Both earmarks will address an unfunded 
requirement of the Army National Guard and the Navy to improve shock-
absorption padding to retrofit helmets. The replacement material is a 
durable and protective polymer. This funding would build on roughly $2 
million that has been allocated for this purpose over the last two 
years.
