  Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership

funding for the following projects in Fiscal Year 2010:
  Nuclear Enterprise Surety Tracking, Account: RDTE, AF. Recipient: 
United States Air Force, Global Strike Command (Barksdale AFB, 
Louisiana). In support of AFGSC at Barksdale AFB, funds would support 
the Air Force's efforts to reinvigorate the Nuclear Surety Mission by 
combining a suite of technologies and applications on a bio-metrically 
secure handheld computing device to enable the real-time tracking of 
nuclear warheads and nuclear bombs across all USAF installations.
  Reconstitution of B-52 Nuclear Capability Study, Account: RDTE, AF. 
Recipient: United States Air Force, Global Strike Command (Barksdale 
AFB, Louisiana). In support of the 2nd Bomb Wing and Headquarters, 
Eighth Air Force at Barksdale AFB, FY10 funds would provide for a 
comprehensive study of nuclear vulnerabilities to assure the B-52 
bomber can meet its nuclear mission. Project will support the USAF/
Global Strike Command mission to reinvigorate the Air Force nuclear 
enterprise. The goal is to produce a prioritized list of 
recommendations that will enhance the B-52 fleet's capability to 
execute its nuclear role in support of USSTRATCOM commitments.
  Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I 
hereby certify that to the best of my knowledge, this request: 1) is 
not directed to an 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 other entities unless the use of funding is consistent 
with the specified purpose of the earmark, and 3) meets or exceeds all 
statutory requirements for matching funds where applicable. I also 
hereby certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest 
in this project.
