  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of the Fiscal Year 
2010 Energy and Water request.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jeff Miller
  Project Name: Adaptive Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition 
(SCADA) Technology for Infrastructure Protection
  Account: Department of Energy--Electricity Delivery and Energy 
Reliability
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Florida Institute for Human and 
Machine Cognition
  Address of Requesting Entity: 40 South Alcaniz Street, Pensacola, 
Florida, 32502
  Description of Request: $750,000--Adaptive Supervisory Control and 
Data Acquisition (SCADA) Technology for Infrastructure Protection. I 
requested these funds to develop a system-centric defense 
infrastructure for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) 
systems that will greatly improve their intrinsic resilience to 
environmental effects and malicious attacks. The proposed defense 
mechanism will be part of the communications infrastructure of the 
SCADA system and, without modifying the monitoring and control 
protocols, will introduce system diversity which will increase 
reliability and resilience preventing a local compromise from becoming 
a threat to the whole infrastructure or causing cascading failure. I 
certify that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect 
on the pecuniary interest of my spouse or me. Consistent with the 
Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby certify that this 
request (1) is not directed to any entity or program named after a 
sitting Member of Congress; (2) is not intended for a ``front'' or 
``pass through'' entity; and (3) meets or exceeds all statutory 
requirements for matching funds where applicable.

                          ____________________
