                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. FRANK A. LoBIONDO

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 30, 2009

  Mr. LoBIONDO. Madam Speaker, as per the requirements of the 
Republican Conference Rules on earmarks, I secured the following 
earmarks in HR 3326:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02)
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: Army--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: (1) Drexel University, (2) 
Waterfront Technology Center
  Address of Requesting Entity: (1) 3141 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 
PA 19104; (2) 200 Federal Street, Suite 300, Camden, NJ 08103
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $3.8 million for 
Applied Communications and Information Networking (ACIN). ACIN enables 
the warfighter to rapidly deploy state-of-the-practice communications 
and networking technology for warfighting and National Security. This 
funding will build on funding from previous years to fully develop this 
technology.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02)
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: Air Force--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Accenture
  Address of Requesting Entity: 200 Federal Street, Suite 300, Camden, 
NJ 08103
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $4.0 million for 
Distributed Mission Interoperability Toolkit (DMIT). DMIT is a suite of 
tools that enables an enterprise architecture for on-demand, trusted, 
interoperability among and between mission-oriented C4I systems. This 
spending will build on funding from previous years to allow DMIT to be 
extended to Joint and coalition requirements, and address current 
weaknesses in Air Force management years ahead of current schedules. 
Adoption by major programs and commercial entities would lead to 
savings in the $100 millions on current and future DOD programs.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02)
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: Navy--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Absecon Mills Inc.
  Address of Requesting Entity: Vienna and Aloe Avenues, PO Box 672, 
Cologne, NJ 08213
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $2.5 million for Force 
Protection--Non Traditional Weaving Application for Aramid (Ballistic) 
Fibers and Fabrics. By re-evaluating standard Industry design and 
manufacturing techniques for force protection technology, we believe 
Non Traditional weave designs of Aramid (ballistic) fiber coupled with 
new applications of microwave plasma treatments can enhance the 
strength of the fiber and result in enhanced individual mobility, ease 
of medical access, reduced weight, increased ballistic protection, cost 
effective savings and weight reduction of ballistic materials currently 
used.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02)

  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: Air Force--Advance Procurement
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: L-3 Communications Systems
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1 Federal Street, Camden, NJ 08103
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $3.0 million for Senior 
Scout COMINT (Communications Intelligence) Capability Upgrade. As part 
of the Senior Scout ongoing mission, there is an immediate need to add 
improved COMINT capability to detect and characterize new, modern, low-
power radio signals at extended standoff ranges in the presence of 
interference. The current systems are not able to detect these specific 
signal sets, which limits intelligence collection capabilities.
