                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 24, 2009

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, consistent with House Republican Earmark 
Standards, I am submitting the following earmark disclosure and 
certification information for three project funding requests that I 
made and were included within the text of H.R. 3298--Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010.


                               Project 1

  Project: Tulsa Academic Center
  Project Amount: $350,000
  Account: Elementary & Secondary Education
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Tulsa Public Schools
  Address of Requesting Entity: 3027 South New Haven Ave., Tulsa, OK 
74114.
  Description of Request: Tulsa Public Schools are twelfth in the 
nation in the highest percentage of students dropping out of high 
school. The Tulsa Public Schools Academic Center, an alternative 
education school for secondary students, serves students' academic 
needs in an environment stressing self discipline and respect. The 
Tulsa Learning Academy serves as a drop-out recovery program for 
students who need a minimum number of credits to obtain their diploma 
and who may need to work while they attend school.


                               Project 2

  Project: University of Oklahoma--College of Medicine, Tulsa, OK, for 
Facilities and Equipment
  Project Amount: $300,000
  Account: Health Resources and Services Administration--Health 
Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: University of Oklahoma College of 
Medicine
  Address of Requesting Entity: 4502 E 41st Street, Tulsa, OK 74135
  Description of Request: Funding this project will help deliver 
healthcare services to a woefully underserved area. The lack of access 
to healthcare has resulted in significantly higher rates of chronic 
illness and disease and drastically lower life expectancy ranges. 
Investing in this clinic will help improve the lives and livelihoods of 
the residents and in turn promote a healthier workforce and economy in 
the region.


                               Project 3

  Project: Oklahoma State University--Center for Health Systems, Tulsa, 
OK, for purchase of equipment, including a mobile clinic
  Project Amount: $300,000
  Account: Health Resources and Services Administration--Health 
Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma State University Center for 
Health Sciences
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1111 West 17th Street, Tulsa, OK 74107.
  Description of Request: This project will achieve two goals: (1) 
expand and enhance the OSU Center for Health Science's health 
information technology system, including its telemedicine and distance 
learning as well as electronic medical records network, and (2) bring 
diagnostic and medical services to geographic regions in Oklahoma where 
even telemedicine is not yet feasible or reasonably located by use of a 
mobile clinic. The mobile clinics will be available to provide medical 
services in response to natural or manmade disasters.
