                         Tuesday, June 23, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House 
Republican standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2647, The 
National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Mike Rogers (MI)
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Other Procurement--Aviation Support Equipment--Aviation Life 
Support
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Peckham Industries
  Address of Requesting Entity: Peckham Industries, 2822 N. Martin 
Luther King Blvd., Lansing, MI 48906
  Description of Request: Provide funding of $5,000,000 for a Multi 
Climate Protection System (MCPS) for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps 
aircrews. The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps requirement for MCPS is 21,500 
units. $5,000,000 will fund approximately 2,500 sets of MCPS. MCPS is 
designed to replace outdated garments that are bulky, do not fit the 
aircrew population, have minimal water and wind resistance, and limited 
moisture management and cannot decrease or increase thermal value by 
addition or removal of layers. The majority of aircrews do not have 
this system.
