                         Monday, July 27, 2009

  Mr. POSEY. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks as well as in accordance with Clause 9 of rule 
XXI, I am submitting the following information regarding earmarks for 
my Congressional District as a part of H.R. 3293--Departments of Labor, 
Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act.
  Requesting Member: Rep. Bill Posey and Rep. Suzanne Kosmas
  Project Funding Amount: $1,000,000
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Employment and Training Administration
  Legal. Name of Requesting Entity: Brevard Workforce Development Board
  Address of Requesting Entity: Brevard Workforce Development Board, 
597 Havarti Court, Suite 40, Rockledge, Florida 32955.
  Description of Request: This funding will be used for the Brevard 
Workforce Development Board's Aerospace Workforce Transition 
initiative. The project will focus on safety of the remaining shuttle 
missions while preparing the workers for new jobs upon completion of 
the shuttle missions. This issue deserves national attention due to the 
sensitive nature of the space program with regards to defense, research 
and U.S. prominence in future space initiatives.
  Consistent with Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby 
certify that to the best of my knowledge this request (1) is not 
directed to any entity or program that will be named after a sitting 
Member of Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by an entity to 
secure funds for entities unless the use of the funding is consistent 
with the specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all 
statutory requirements for matching funds where applicable.

                          ____________________
