                        Wednesday, July 15, 2009

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House Republican 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as a part of H.R. 3183--Energy and Water 
Appropriations Act of 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman John Boozman
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Inspection of Completed Works, AR
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Fort Smith
  Address of Requesting Entity: 623 Garrison Avenue, Suite 315, Fort 
Smith, Arkansas, 72902
  Description of Request: The City of Fort Smith would use the funding 
of $425,000 to coordinate with the Little Rock District of the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers to perform an Engineering assessment on the 
Arkansas River levee system, to ensure that adequate design and 
maintenance of the levee system is in place to provide reasonable 
assurance that protection from the base flood (100 year flood event) 
exists and/or that design criteria is being met. This is necessary to 
ensure FEMA accredits the levees for purposes of flood risk studies and 
flood map modernization. The project is vital to ensure the safety of 
lives and property protected by the levee system.
