                           HON. RALPH M. HALL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2009

  Mr. HALL of Texas. 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. 2647, 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Ralph M. Hall
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2010
  Account: RDAF
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: L-3 Communications Integrated 
Systems
  Address of Requesting Entity: 10001 Jack Finney Boulevard, 
Greenville, TX 75403
  Description of Request: I have secured $2,500,000 for the Rivet Joint 
Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) with L-3 Communications Integrated 
Systems. Funding for this project will fully implement the RC-135 SOA, 
which will ensure full RIVET JOINT integration in the ISR Enterprise, 
thus meeting USAF/DoD/DNI requirements for making ISR data and 
information discoverable, accessible, and to enable information 
sharing. RIVET JOINT requires continuous, current access to other ISR 
nodes, databases, and special processing to accomplish current and 
projected missions. At the same time, the ISR Enterprise will benefit 
greatly from RC-135 provision of ISR services, both intra- and post-
mission. This will be achieved by building on current ongoing RC-135 
ground systems, extending the number and performance of ISR services 
available through these systems, and fully meeting USAF/DoD/DNI SOA 
tenets. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial 
interest in this project.
