  Mr. COLE. 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, for FY2010
  Requesting Member: Congressman Tom Cole
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Provision: Title III
  Account: DOE--Science
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: ``The University of Oklahoma''
  Address of Requesting Entity: 660 Parrington Oval, Norman OK 73019
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of 1,000,000.00 to The 
University of Oklahoma (OU) for its technological advantage in the 
production of carbon nanotubes, via the use of a proprietary catalyst 
and a truly scalable production process, commercialized by an OU 
startup company (South-West Nanotechnologies, SWeNT). The Center for 
Applications of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (CANTEC) investigates 
the applications of the SWNT produced in the CoMoCAT process in several 
important areas: biomedical applications (biosensors, cancer cell 
targets, and cancer therapeutics), polymer composites of unique 
electrical and mechanical properties, metal-nanotube composites, 
thermally conducting composites, transparent electrodes, solar cells, 
field emission devices, and thin film transistors.
