  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, Pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding an earmark I received as part of H.R. 
2647, The National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010. The 
entity authorized to receive funding for this project is KCF 
Technologies, 112 West Foster Avenue, State College, PA 16801, in the 
amount of $2,000,000. It is my understanding that the funding would be 
used for self-powered prosthetic limb technology. Successful 
development and deployment of the Self-Powered Prosthetic Limb 
Technology will create an opportunity for our country's injured 
soldiers to attain high functional levels with hopes of remaining on 
active duty in service to their country.
