                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 9, 2009

  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House Republican 
Standards on Congressional appropriations initiatives, I am submitting 
the following information regarding a project that was included at my 
request in Fiscal Year 2010 Military Construction--Veterans Affairs 
Appropriations Bill (H.R. 3082).


                  Consolidate Communications Facility

  Account: Military Construction, U.S. Air Force
  Legal name and address of requesting entity: MacDill Air Force Base, 
Tampa, Florida.
  Description of request: $21,000,000 for a Consolidated Communication 
Facility (Project Number NVZR033702). MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, 
Florida does not have an adequate Consolidated Communication Facility 
for the Joint Components of USSOCOM and USCENTCOM forces. This 
Consolidated Communication Facility would provide for all communication 
circuits (both digital and analog) entering and exiting MacDill AFB. 
The Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria Anti-Terrorism 
and Force Protection guidance requires that essential communication 
equipment be located in a secure environment. Base Network Control 
Center functions currently located in Bldg 260 will be relocated to the 
new secure facility.
