  Mr. PUTNAM. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership

regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2847, the Commerce, 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Adam H. Putnam

(COPS) Meth
  Project Funding Amount: $250,000
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Polk County Sheriff
  Address of Requesting Entity: 455 North Broadway Avenue, Bartow, 
Florida 33830
  Description of Request: The Polk County Sheriff's Office has placed 
an earmark request of $250,000 in continued funding for the Polk County 
Methamphetamine Project. This critical program has received previous 
federal funding to carry out methamphetamine prevention and mitigation 
programs that have shown positive results in cracking down on the 
growth of methamphetamine production and distribution in Central 
Florida. This funding will cover equipment, and training, thus enabling 
the Polk County Sheriffs Office (PCSO) to make a dedicated effort to 
combat the distribution and use of methamphetamine in Polk County, 
Florida. From 2003 through 2007, the PCSO made 3,481 methamphetamine 
related arrests, seized over 150,000 grams of methamphetamine, and 
eliminated 27 methamphetamine labs.
