  Mr. KING of New York. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2647--National Defense 
Authorization Act for FY2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Peter T. King
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Aircraft Procurement, Army
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1 Financial Plaza, Hartford, CT 06301
  Description of Request: $20,400,000 will be used to convert ``A'' 
model Black Hawk helicopters to the ``L'' configuration. This 
additional funding for UH-60L conversions will enable a more rapid

are ready, deployable and available to protect our national interests 
abroad, and respond to emergencies here at home.
