  Mr. GOHMERT. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2847, the Commerce, 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010.
  Texas Cyber Security Research and Training Institute Project. 
Department of Justice, OJP-Byrne. The University of Texas at Tyler, 
3900 University Boulevard, Tyler, Texas 75799, $529,000 to conduct 
research in conjunction with Mississippi State University on petroleum 
industry computer security and train law enforcement personnel in 
computer forensics. As cyber technology has progressed and gained 
importance internationally, the risk of security breaches and cyber 
related crime has dramatically increased, putting our nation at extreme 
risk to neutralization of our ability to produce and utilize energy. 
This project provides for instruction and training to provide a line of 
defense against these increased technological risks.
