                        Wednesday, July 22, 2009

  Mr. CAO. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3288--the Department of 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2010:
  As requested by me, Rep. Anh ``Joseph'' Cao, H.R. 3288--the 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Act, 2010, provides for 
the Master Planning of Interstate-10. This is the Delta Region 
Transportation Development Program account in the amount of $400,000. 
This funding will go toward the Master Plan to widen and elevate the 
interstate in New Orleans' urban areas.
  As requested by me, Rep. Anh ``Joseph'' Cao, H.R. 3288--the 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Act, 2010, provides for 
the building of the Almonaster Bridge. This is the Surface 
Transportation Priorities account in the amount of $400,000. This 
funding would go to the construction of a new bridge over the Inner 
Harbor Navigation Canal. This is one of the most critical intermodal 
improvements in the New Orleans region with true national significance 
as this bridge is part of the Southern Rail Gateway.
  As requested by me, Rep. Anh ``Joseph'' Cao, H.R. 3288--the 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Act, 2010, provides for 
the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority. This is the Neighborhood 
Initiatives account in the amount of $750,000. This funding would go to 
the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority to rehabilitate vacant and 
uninhabitable multi-family housing complexes.
