                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 17, 2009

  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, pursuant to House Republican 
Conference standards on earmarks, I submit the following information 
regarding a project included at my request in H.R. 3082, the Fiscal 
Year 2010 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations 
Act:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jim Jordan (OH-04)
  Bill: H.R. 3082
  Account: Air National Guard
  Requesting entity: Ohio Air National Guard/Mansfield Lahm Air 
National Guard Base
  Project title: Ohio Air National Guard RED HORSE Beddown
  Description: In 2008, a 200-person detachment of the 200th RED HORSE 
(Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers) 
Squadron was activated at Mansfield Lahm Airport (1947 Harrington 
Memorial Road, Mansfield, Ohio). The detachment currently operates out 
of facilities that are too small and not configured for its mission; as 
a result, important training missions are often postponed, resulting in 
a reduced level of readiness.
  $11.4 million in funding for RED HORSE beddown facilities at the 
airport has already been programmed by the Pentagon for funding in 
fiscal year 2010. These facilities will provide the detachment with the 
space and facilities it needs for proper readiness training.
  I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in 
this project.
