  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. 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. 
2996--Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010.
  I requested one project in H.R. 2996.
  $500,000 for The Conservation Fund located a 2507 Calloway Road, 
Tallahassee, FL 32303. This funding will go towards the purchase of 
environmentally sensitive land surrounding Three sisters Springs in 
Citrus County. This property abuts manatee protection areas and would 
place a large undeveloped tract of land in public ownership, allowing 
for the further protection of the spring as well as the endangered 
manatee species.
