                         Monday, June 15, 2009

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. 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.
  I requested two projects in H.R. 2847. They include:
  $800,000 for the Lake County Board of Commissioners located at 315 
West Main St., P.O. Box 7800, Tavares, FL 32778. This funding will help 
Lake County to fund an 800 Mhz radio system and go towards equipment 
and technology for the Emergency Operations Center of Lake County.
  $200,000 for the Marion County Board of County Commissioners located 
at 601 SE 25th Avenue, Ocala, FL 34471. This funding will help to fund 
the purchase of technology that captures fingerprints required for FBI 
criminal background checks, through the rest of the patrol vehicles. 
The equipment and software will collect demographic data and 
fingerprint scans and submit both to the appropriate background check 
authority, which will, in turn, provide instant feedback. The request 
is in accordance with priorities established by the Florida Department 
of Law Enforcement, who has indicated a desire for all law enforcement 
agencies across the state to have consistency in the equipment used for 
fingerprinting.
