  Mr. McCARTHY of California. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership guidelines on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I requested that were included as part of H.R. 3293, the 
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kevin McCarthy
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources 
and Services Administration--Health Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: California State University, 
Bakersfield
  Address of Requesting Entity: 29 Romberg Nursing Education Center, 
9001 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, California 93311
  Description of Request: $150,000 was included for the California 
State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) to fund purchases of new classroom 
equipment, technical resources, and medical equipment for CSUB's 
nursing program. This funding is to bring CSUB's nursing program to a 
level of technological and environmental sophistication that is 
comparable to other nursing departments across California in order to 
meet the national and regional nursing shortage that is predicted to 
increase over the next decade, which would negatively affect patient 
care.
