  Mr. LUCAS. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of the Transportation, Housing 
and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, H.R. 
3288.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank D. Lucas
  Bill Number: HR 3288
  Account: Federal Highway Administration, Transportation & Community & 
System Preservation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Clinton
  Address of Requesting Entity: 415 Gary Blvd., Clinton, Oklahoma 73601
  Description of Request: I received $400,000 for the City of Clinton 
to reconstruct Chapman Road. The location of this project is between 
sections 22 and 27 of T12N, R17W Custer County Oklahoma and west of 
Neptune Dr. and east of 28th St. in Clinton, OK. This funding will be 
used to improve Chapman Road to modern day standards so that is can 
better serve the citizens that use the road daily as well as provide a 
safer roadway to visitors. The improvements needed include the 
acquisition of seven feet of right-of-way, clearing ditch and channel 
drainage runoff areas, reconstructing a portion of the roadway 
adversely affected by storm water runoff, resurfacing the remaining 
portion to meet both current and future traffic demands, installing 
roadway lighting, and installing traffic control and directional signs.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank D. Lucas
  Bill Number: HR 3288
  Account: Federal Highway Administration, Transportation & Community & 
System Preservation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma Department of 
Transportation
  Address of Requesting Entity: 200 NE 21st Street, Oklahoma City, 
Oklahoma 73105
  Description of Request: I received $400,000 for the Oklahoma 
Department of Transportation to widen US 60 between Bartlesville and 
Pawhuska in Osage County, Oklahoma. The project will reconstruct the 
existing two lane US 60 to an adequate two lane facility with 
shoulders, adequate bridge load-bearing capacity, and corrected 
substandard geometric features (hills and curves) from the US/SH99 
intersection north of Pawhuska eastward approximately 16 miles. 
Increased safety will result with the addition of adequate lane widths, 
shoulders, bridges and improved sight distances.
