  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. 3288--Transportation, 
Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman John Boozman
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Interstate Maintenance Discretionary
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: State of Arkansas
  Address of Requesting Entity: Arkansas Highway and Transportation 
Department, 10324 Interstate 30, Little Rock, AR 72203
  Description of Request: $1,000,000 in funding would be used to 
continue development and construction of a project to widen Interstate 
540 and improve existing interchanges from Fayetteville north in 
Washington and Benton Counties. The purpose of these improvements is to 
relieve existing traffic congestion, to provide increased capacity to 
accommodate future traffic growth, and to enhance motorist safety.
  Requesting Member: Congressman John Boozman
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Buses and Bus Facilities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: State of Arkansas
  Address of Requesting Entity: Arkansas Highway and Transportation 
Department, 10324 Interstate 30, Little Rock, AR 72203
  Description of Request: $1,050,000 in funding would be used for buses 
and bus facilities for Arkansas' small urban and rural transit systems, 
and to supplement the procurement of ADA vans and small buses for 
Arkansas' 250 community human service organizations serving the elderly 
and persons with disabilities.
  Requesting Member: Congressman John Boozman
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Economic Development Initiatives
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Fort Smith
  Address of Requesting Entity: 623 Garrison Avenue, Suite 315, Fort 
Smith, AR 72902
  Description of Request: $250,000 will be used for the planning, 
design, and construction of a Riverfront area, which will include the 
new U.S. Marshals Museum. This is a revitalization and redevelopment 
area that is expected to bring visitors, new businesses, and focus to 
this area of Arkansas. Because this area is adjacent to historic and 
National Park sites, taxpayer dollars will be spent creating an area 
focused on showcasing US history, and which is expected to attract 
tourists from all over the world.
