                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 2009

  Mr. BRADY 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 H.R. 3183--Energy 
and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kevin Brady, Texas 8th Congressional 
District
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183--Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Project: Sam Rayburn Reservoir Operations & Maintenance
  Account: Operations and Maintenance, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
  Requesting Entity: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District
  Address of Requesting Entity: 819 Taylor Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102
  This is the third year I've requested funding to repair the Twin 
Dikes Park marine launching complex since its collapse due to Hurricane 
Rita, erosion, and excessive wave action. Unfortunately, the Corps has 
a backlog of maintenance on some of the most widely used recreational 
facilities at Lake Sam Rayburn. In addition to Twin Dikes Park 
launching complex, I continue to support the U.S. Corps of Engineers 
annual request for funding to operate and maintain the lakes, and other 
water resources of East and Southeast Texas.
  The $5,937,000 included in this conference report will be allocated 
to perform annual operations and maintenance of the Sam Rayburn Dam and 
Reservoir.
