                      Thursday, November 20, 2008

  Mr. WELDON of Florida. 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, the Consolidated Security, 
Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009:
  Requesting Member: Rep. Dave Weldon (FL-15).
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638 Account: DOD, RDTE.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Northrop Grumman Corp.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1000 Wilson Blvd, Suite 2300, 
Arlington, VA 22209.
  Description of Request: The MP-RTIP radar is modular and scaleable in 
design enabling the USAF to share development efforts between the 
smaller radar intended for the Global Hawk and a larger radar for a 
larger aircraft like the E-8. More importantly, the large radar can 
detect and track targets with a much smaller radar signature--such as 
cruise missile or small targets on the ground.
