                           HON. STEVE SCALISE

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 16, 2009

  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on Congressionally-directed project funding, I am submitting 
the following information regarding project funding I requested for 
Southeast Louisiana as part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Energy and Water 
Appropriations Act.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steve Scalise
  Bill Number: Fiscal Year 2010 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill
  Account: Corps of Engineers, Section 107
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Port of New Orleans
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1350 Port of New Orleans Place, New 
Orleans, LA 70130
  Description of Request: I have secured $100,000 for the Port of New 
Orleans. This will be a good use of taxpayer dollars because the 
authorized dredging and maintenance project would provide a minimum 45-
foot draft access at the Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal in the Port 
of New Orleans to enable terminal use by deep draft ships and to allow 
the Port to remain competitive in attracting and retaining 
international business. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any 
financial interest in this project.

                          ____________________
