                          EARMARK DECLARATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LAMAR SMITH

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 27, 2009

  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of the FY 2010 
Defense Appropriations Act.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Lamar Smith
  Bill Number: FY 2010 Defense Appropriations Act
  Account: RDTE, Navy
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: The University of Texas at Austin
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1 University Station G2700, PO Box 
7397, Austin, TX 78713
  Description of Request: I have secured $1,500,000 for the University 
of Texas at Austin for next Generation Manufacturing Processes and 
Systems. This initiative will establish a research and education 
program for enhancing U.S. competitiveness in flexible, rapid response 
manufacturing. This program addresses national security issues in 
addition to developing a strong domestic engineering workforce (in both 
manufacturing and design) and a means for U.S. industry to maintain and 
enhance an important capability in the world manufacturing marketplace. 
I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in 
this project.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Lamar Smith
  Bill Number: FY 2010 Defense Appropriations Act
  Account: RDTE, Army
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: National Trauma Institute
  Address of Requesting Entity: 16500 San Pedro Avenue, Suite 350 San 
Antonio, TX 78232
  Description of Request: I have secured $2,500,000 for the National 
Trauma Institute. In the U.S., hemorrhage is responsible for 30% to 40% 
of deaths following a traumatic injury. Funding would be used to 
develop techniques to manage noncompressible hemorrhages following 
combat injury. If advances are funded it seems likely that the rates of 
late complications and mortality from noncompressible hemorrhage will 
be decreased and outcomes improved, resulting in a direct and positive 
impact on the survivability of soldiers with battlefield injuries. I 
certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this 
project.
