  Ms. JENKINS. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of the FY2010 Defense 
Appropriations Bill, H.R. 3326:
  Earmark: Army Command and General Staff College Leadership Training 
Program
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: OM,A
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Fort Leavenworth, KS
  Address of Requesting Entity: 881 McClellan Ave., Fort Leavenworth, 
KS 66027
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $2,000,000 to continue 
a partnership with Kansas State University to provide an M.A. and Ph.D. 
in Security Studies, and an M.S. and Ed.D. in Educational Leadership to 
military students and faculty at the Command and General Staff College, 
Fort Leavenworth. The program was developed in close coordination with 
senior faculty at CGSC. This program responds to a need identified by 
Fort Leavenworth in an area of expertise at Kansas State University.
  Earmark: Repair Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning System at Ft. 
Leavenworth
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: OM,A
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Fort Leavenworth, KS
  Address of Requesting Entity: 881 McClellan Ave, Fort Leavenworth, KS 
66027
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $2,796,000 to replace a 
failing HVAC system in the Community Center located in Building 318. 
This is a 41,000 SF building, built in 1940. This building provides a 
unique location for a variety of community support events throughout 
the year that often involve large numbers of people, such as town hall 
meetings, Chapel family events, Army Family Action Plan conferences, 
etc. The existing heating and air-conditioning equipment is failing, 
and portions of it cannot be repaired due to its age. As a result it is 
unable to cool and heat the building sufficiently throughout the year.
  Earmark: Repair Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning System in 
National Simulations Center
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins

  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: OM,A
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Fort Leavenworth, KS
  Address of Requesting Entity: 881 McClellan Ave, Fort Leavenworth, KS 
66027
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $1,785,000 to correct 
air quality problems in the three-story, 93,000 SF National Simulation 
Center located in Building 45. Originally built in 1882, this former 
barracks was remodeled 15 years ago into a secure training facility, 
which due to its mission, could not have any windows. It houses a large 
amount of information technology which is used in conducting 
simulations. The number of personnel using the building during training 
simulations has increased substantially over the last several years. 
The HVAC system must be upgraded to handle the requirement to properly 
ventilate and cool the building given the larger heat load generated by 
the automation equipment and the high number of personnel. The existing 
HVAC equipment was installed during the last remodel and has reached 
its useful life expectancy. It is no longer capable of supporting the 
mission.
  Earmark: 190th Air Refueling Wing Squadron Operations Facility
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: OM,ANG

  Description of Request: To provide an earmark of $1,000,000 to 
remodel and upgrade the current Squadron Operations Facility to 
effectively meet the day-to-day requirements of the 190th ARW, which 
has increased in size and mission for the KC-135R tanker operation.
