                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 7, 2009

  Mr. McKEON. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding Member priority requests I received as part of H.R. 3082, the 
``Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 
2010.''
  Requesting Member: Congressman Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon
  Bill Number: H.R. 3082, the ``Military Construction and Veterans 
Affairs Appropriations Act, 2010''
  Account: MILCON, Navy
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: U.S. Marine Corps Mountain Warfare 
Training Center
  Address of Requesting Entity: U.S. Marine Corps Mountain Warfare 
Training Center, Bridgeport, CA, 93517
  Description of Request: I requested and received a Member priority 
authorization request totaling $6,830,000 for a new commissary at the 
U.S. Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center. This project would 
construct a permanent commissary at the U.S. Marine Corps Mountain 
Warfare Training Center. Due to the remote location of the base outside 
Bridgeport, California, military members and their families travel 
dozens of miles over steep and sometimes impassable roadways to buy 
groceries and supplies. This project would eliminate that drive and 
provide an improved quality of life on base, especially during the 
winter months.
