                        Wednesday, June 24, 2009

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I secured as part of H.R. 2847, the 
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Geoff Davis
  Bill Number: H.R. 2892
  Account: Predisaster Mitigation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Brooksville
  Address of Requesting Entity: P.O. Box 216, 201 Government Street, 
Brooksville, KY 41004
  Description of Request: Appropriate $18,500 to purchase an emergency 
generator for the City Fire Department/Community Center and City office 
building. This facility is the only emergency shelter area within the 
City of Brooksville. The generator will allow for this critical 
facility to serve as a shelter and emergency operations center during 
times of hardship and disaster, such as the ice storm in Kentucky in 
early 2009. This is a valuable use of taxpayer funds because completion 
of the project will ensure appropriate emergency management and 
protection the local community during significant weather events and 
emergencies.
