  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, pursuant to House Republican 
Conference standards, I am submitting the following information for 
publication concerning a project included at my request in the Fiscal 
Year 2009 Omnibus.
  Requesting Member: Jim Jordan (Fourth Ohio District)
  Bill Number: H.R. 1105, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009
  Account: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Section 205 (Flood 
Damage Reduction)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: United States Army Corps of 
Engineers, Buffalo District
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1776 Niagara Street, Buffalo, New York 
14207
  Description of Request: The City of Findlay, Ohio, saw three of its 
worst floods in history in just a 13-month period in 2007-8. These 
floods devastated the city, causing significant damage to the downtown 
business district and displacing hundreds of residents. The Army Corps 
of Engineers has worked diligently since the January 2007 flood toward 
developing flood damage reduction plans; the feasibility study is on 
schedule for completion in 2010.
  I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in 
this project.
