                          EARMARK DECLARATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. WALTER B. JONES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2009

  Mr. JONES. 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.
  Rep. Walter B. Jones
  Project: U.S. Navy Cancer Vaccine Program
  Recipient: OncBioMune, LLC, 17050 Medical Drive, 4th Floor, Baton 
Rouge, LA 70816
  Account: Research & Development, Navy
  Amount: $4,000,000
  Explanation: The U.S. Navy Cancer Vaccine Program was initiated in 
2005 and was the first cancer vaccine program conducted at the Naval 
Health Research Center. It has received congressional appropriations 
beginning in FY06. Currently, U.S. military health authorities estimate 
that in the past year alone, $42 million was spent on direct health 
care costs in the military healthcare system related to prostate 
cancer. Continued development of the vaccine through this project will 
save the lives of military personnel suffering from cancer as well as 
reduce health care costs in the military healthcare system.
  Rep. Walter B. Jones
  Project: Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) Complex at Seymour Johnson 
Air Force Base Phase 1
  Recipient: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, 1510 Wright Brothers Ave., 
Seymour Johnson AFB, NC 27531
  Account: Military Construction, Air Force
  Amount: $6,900,000
  Explanation: The existing Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) Complex and 
Ground to Air Transmitter/Receiver (GATR) at Seymour Johnson Air Force 
Base are inadequately configured for today's mission and high-tech 
equipment. Replacing these facilities would improve Air Force 
operations and safety and save money by sharply reducing the cost of 
maintaining the existing outdated infrastructure.
