                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JERRY MORAN

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 23, 2009

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. 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, 
Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Agency/Account: Department of Transportation, Office of the 
Secretary, Transportation Planning, Research, and Development
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: University of Kansas
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2385 Irving Hill Rd., Lawrence, KS 
66403
  Description of Project: I have secured $350,000 for the University of 
Kansas Engine Test Cell Upgrade project. One of the education 
components of the University is the School of Engineering. The School 
of Engineering promotes and teaches interdisciplinary research 
learning. Engineers and computer scientists from different disciplines 
work together to provide innovative solutions to challenges around the 
world. Funding will be used to purchase equipment including an AC 
dynamometer. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial 
interest in this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Agency/Account: Federal Aviation Administration, Airport Improvement 
Program
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oberlin Municipal Airport
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1832 Highway 83, Oberlin, KS 66749
  Description of Project: I have secured $500,000 for the Oberlin 
Municipal Airport Runway
  Realignment and Lengthening Project. Recently the FAA has required a 
500 foot displacement on the south end of north/south runway 17-35 at 
the Oberlin Municipal Airport. Shortening of the runway and lack of 
expansion to the north further hinders usage of the current alignment. 
Decatur County is currently not being served by air ambulance. Eagle 
Med sets runway requirements the pressure altitude of 2705, Oberlin, 
Kansas on an 85 degree day with a 10 knot head wind of approximately 
4,200; this requirement increases about 100 feet for every one degree 
of temperature. The current north/south runway is less than 3,900 feet.
  Funding will be used for construction of this proposed new runway 
which will solve the aforementioned issues. The new runway, while 
providing utility for the existing users, will offer growth and 
expansion for several companies that use aviation, all of which are 
hindered by the poor runway conditions. I certify that neither I nor my 
spouse has any financial interest in this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Agency/Account: Federal Highway Administration, Surface 
Transportation Priorities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Great Bend
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1209 Williams, Great Bend, KS 67530
  Description of Project: I have secured $400,000 for the Broadway and 
Kansas Avenue Repair Project in Great Bend, KS. The Broadway/Kansas 
Avenue Repair and Rehabilitation Project is designed to repair two 
roadways of economic importance to the Great Bend Community. Both 
roadways serve as major traffic arterials for commercial and 
residential traffic alike. Because of the sheer amount and the kind of 
traffic both these routes receive, the condition of both roadways is in 
rapidly increasing disrepair. The high traffic levels along with age of 
concrete sections on both routes have caused these sections of roadway 
to deteriorate faster than the typical roadway. The nature of 
businesses located on both of these routes makes repair action 
increasingly important. Funding will be used to help repair these 
roads. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial 
interest in this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Agency/Account: Federal Highway Administration, Surface 
Transportation Priorities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Junction City
  Address of Requesting Entity: 700 North Jefferson, P.O. Box 287, 
Junction City, KS 66441
  Description of Project: I have secured $500,000 for the Rucker Road 
at US-77 Project in Junction City, Kansas. The development of housing 
and business operations on the west side of Junction City has created a 
need for additional traffic signals at Rucker Road and US-77. Funding 
will be used for the addition of traffic signals and turn lanes on US-
77 and Rucker Road, which will ease the congestion and reduce the 
potential for accidents at this busy intersection. I certify that 
neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.
