                         Friday, July 24, 2009

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3293, Department of Labor, Health 
and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Agency/Account: Department of Education, Higher Education (FIPSE)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Fort Hays State University
  Address of Requesting Entity: 600 Park Street, Hays, KS 67601
  Description of Project: I have secured $250,000 for Fort Hays State 
University Equipment Project. The funding has four components. The 
first is for biotechnology equipment that will significantly enhance 
the training of undergraduate nursing students and other healthcare 
providers in rural Kansas. The second part is for computerized 
simulators which have become a significant learning tool in nursing 
programs as they have expanded to meet the needs of the current 
shortage. Physiology equipment will be purchased to enhance the 
training in physiology and clinical cardiopulmonary evaluation. 
Finally, the last part of the request is for equipment to mount a 
special video classroom for long-distance learning. I certify that 
neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.

  Agency/Account: Department of Education, Higher Education (FIPSE)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Hutchinson Community College
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1300 N. Plum St., Hutchinson, KS 67501
  Description of Project: I have secured $250,000 for Hutchinson 
Community College Equipment and Technology Project. In March of 2008 
Hutchinson Community College broke ground on an expansion and 
renovation of its 40-year old science building into a Physical and 
Biotechnology Science Center. Donations from private donors and state 
and local public sources will pay for the necessary remodeling and 
facility expansion which is scheduled to be completed around March 
2010. Funding will be used to equip the building with required safety, 
communication, and technical equipment and furnishings appropriate to 
learning

environments. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial 
interest in this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jerry Moran
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Agency/Account: Department of Health and Human Services, 
Administration on Aging (AOA)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Mosaic-Garden City
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2708 N. 11th St., Garden City, KS 67846
  Description of Project: I have secured $350,000 for the Legacy Senior 
Services Program. Mosaic's ``Legacy Senior Services'' is a new model of 
service that will be provided in Garden City, Kansas, which will 
support approximately 40 seniors per day (age 55+), five days a week, 
who either have intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) or 
who have Alzheimer's disease. Seniors in these two groups have similar 
needs and can greatly benefit from similar services.
  Funding for Mosaic's ``Legacy Senior Services'' will be used to help 
staff and provide a structured environment where seniors with I/DD and 
those with Alzheimer's have opportunities to engage in socialization 
and other meaningful activities that are appropriate for each person's 
plan for support. These services will allow family members to receive 
respite from their day-to-day caregiving activities, thus reducing the 
likelihood of ``burnout'' that many caregivers experience while also 
decreasing the need for more expensive nursing home placement. I 
certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this 
project.

  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Agency/Account: Department of Health and Human Services, HRSA
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: University of Kansas
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2385 Irving Hill Rd., Lawrence, KS 
66405
  Description of Project: I have secured $1,500,000 for the University 
of Kansas Cancer Research Facilities and Equipment. Funding will be 
used for facilities and equipment needs for cancer research in Wahl/
Hixon Research Complex at the KU Medical Center. To achieve the goal of 
National Cancer Institute designation, the University of Kansas Cancer 
Center must attract 19 new basic, translational, and clinical cancer 
researchers by 2011. These scholar recruits will only come to the 
University of Kansas Cancer Center if state-of-the-art research 
facilities and equipment are available on the Medical Center campus in 
Kansas City and the Drug Discovery campus in Lawrence. Currently, the 
Cancer Center plans to renovate 170,000 square feet and construct 
98,200 square feet of laboratory space for cancer researchers. I 
certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this 
project.
