  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. 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. 2647, The 
National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010.
  Requested by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
  Bill number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Defense Wide R/D/T&E, USSOCOM
  Amount: $4,000,000
  Project: Transformer Technology for Combat Submersibles (TTCS)
  Requested by: STIDD Systems Inc. 86 Coco Plum Drive Marathon, FL 
33050
  Funding for this request would enable U.S. Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM) to evaluate a combat submersible boat with increased payload 
capacity. This technology demonstration craft would be manufactured by 
STIDD Systems, a private company, with testing and training facilities 
in Marathon, Florida. Funding for this project would bring much-needed, 
well paying jobs to the Florida Keys.
