                          HON. JOHN M. McHUGH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 9, 2009

  Mr. McHUGH. 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. 3082, the Fiscal Year 
2010 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill.
  Requesting Member: John M. McHugh
  Bill Number: H. R. 3082
  Account: Military Construction, Army
  Name of Military Installation: Fort Drum
  Address of Requesting Entity: Fort Drum, New York 13601
  Description: Provide an earmark of $8,200,000 in MCA to build an All 
Weather Marksmanship Facility at Fort Drum, New York. Currently, Fort 
Drum has only one operational All Weather Marksmanship Facility. The 
project is required to provide year round live fire training to more 
efficiently support soldiers in meeting weapons proficiency and 
qualification standards, and minimize the amount of time required to 
complete training. The Light Infantry Doctrine and the missions of the 
10th Mountain Division require higher than normal levels of 
marksmanship proficiency and fire discipline.
