                        Friday, October 23, 2009

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I secured as part of H.R. 3183, the 
Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Geoff Davis
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Corps of Engineers--Investigations
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers--
Huntington District
  Address of Requesting Entity: 502 Eighth Street, Huntington, WV 25701
  Description of Request: Appropriate $1,793,000 for the Ohio River 
Basin Comprehensive Study, WV, KY, OH, PA, IL, VA, AL, TN, NY, MD, NC, 
MS & GA. Funds will help to complete the Reconnaissance Report and 
initiate the Feasibility Report. This project is an important use of 
taxpayer dollars because it is the first step in the development of a 
comprehensive analysis and strategy for the administration and 
management of the Ohio River Basin system. The project will eventually 
identify and document stakeholders and their needs for water resources 
products and services that are now or could be generated by the current 
system and will determine the current condition of the system 
infrastructure.
