                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information for 
publication in the Congressional Record regarding earmarks received as 
part of H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009.
  Name of the Requesting Member: Lee Terry.
  The bill number: H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009.
  Project Name: Special Olympics Educational Programs.
  Amount Requested: $6,000,000.
  The legal name and address of requesting entity: 2010 Special 
Olympics USA National Games 8801 F Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68127.
  Description of earmark: The request I made was for the 2010 Special 
Olympics USA National Games to assist in funding the Special Olympics' 
Second USA National Games. This money would be spent on logistics, 
security, transportation, housing and meals for athletes during the 
2010 games in Nebraska. It is my understanding that this project, which 
included my name as a requestor, is for Special Olympics educational 
programs that can be integrated into classroom instruction and for 
activities to increase the participation of individuals with 
intellectual disabilities, as authorized under the Special Olympics 
Sport and Empowerment Act.
