  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. 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. 2487, the 
Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 
2010.
  I, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, requested $500,000 on behalf of 
Washington State University, located at 1036 Wilson Road; Pullman, 
Washington 99164. The application submitted on Washington State 
University's behalf requested funding from the Department of Justice's 
Office of Justice Program's Edward Bryne Discretionary Grant Account. 
This funding will be applied to the Washington State University 
Research Center for the Study of Addiction: Methamphetamine, 
Prescription, and Other Drugs of Abuse.
  The Washington State University Program of Excellence is known for 
its cutting-edge, world-class research into the treatment and 
prevention of methamphetamine abuse. This request will utilize existing 
infrastructure, which currently focuses on methamphetamine abuse, to 
focus on prescription drug abuse. Funds will be used to provide for one 
research fellow, including necessary equipment and materials, to be a 
faculty member in the Center of Excellence. The individual will be 
responsible for focusing on the effective treatment and prevention of 
prescription drug abuse.
