  Mr. GUTHRIE. 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.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Brett Guthrie
  Bill Number: H.R. 2487
  Account: Department of Justice, COPS-Meth
  Recipient: Daviess County Sheriff's Department, 212 St. Ann Street, 
Owensboro, KY 42301
  Description of Request: Provide $300,000 to the Daviess County 
Sheriff's Department to assist local law enforcement agencies to fight 
methamphetamine production and use. These funds will enable regional 
and local anti-drug agencies across the Second District to work 
together in their efforts to combat methamphetamine production. 
Methamphetamine use is on the rise for the first time in half a decade 
and local law enforcement must have the tools they need to combat this 
problem.
