                       Tuesday, September 8, 2009

  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 
3326, Department of Defense Appropriations Act FY 2010.
  Name of Requesting Member: J. Gresham Barrett
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account Number: 0601101E 2 Defense Research Sciences
  Name and address of requesting entity: The entity to receive funding 
for this project is Clemson University, located at Clemson University, 
South Carolina.
  Description of earmark including amount and spending plan: I am 
requesting $1.6 million of funding for Clemson University Advanced 
Photonic Composites Research. This program will be used for development 
of the next generation of materials for use in optical and laser-based 
communication, health, automotive, and defense platforms. It will 
provide the necessary coordinated and concentrated effort to bring high 
information capacity, low power consuming optical technologies to the 
soldier. The research will continue to focus on novel active and 
passive materials and optical devices for advanced lighting, directed 
energy, sensing and switching, as well as ways to make their 
performance controllably adaptive, such that one technology may now be 
used for a myriad of applications. I certify that this project does not 
have a direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of my 
spouse or me.
