                        Wednesday, June 24, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. 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. 2892--
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Mike Rogers (AL)
  Bill Number: H.R. 2892
  Account: FEMA, State and Local Programs
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Center for Domestic Preparedness
  Address of Requesting Entity: Fort McClellan, Anniston, Alabama 36202
  Description of Request: ``Center for Domestic Preparedness--
$40,000,000'' Taxpayer justification--It is my understanding that the 
funding would be used by the Center for Domestic Preparedness in order 
for it to continue to provide the highest quality all hazards training 
to first responders from around the nation and world to ensure that 
they have the necessary skills to keep their communities safe. This is 
a Federal training facility.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Mike Rogers (AL)
  Bill Number: H.R. 2892
  Account: FEMA, State and Local Programs
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Town of Shorter, Alabama
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2521 Old Federal Road, Shorter, Alabama 
36075
  Description of Request: ``Emergency Operations Center--$500,000'' 
Taxpayer justification--It is my understanding that the funding would 
be used to help provide emergency services to the citizens of Shorter, 
Alabama. Shorter is a small community in Macon County and as it 
develops economically it needs to be able to provide coordinated 
emergency services. This project will enhance community safety by 
allowing improved communications and coordination between first 
responders.
