  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Madam Speaker, in adherence to the Republican 
Earmark Standards for the Coast Guard Authorization, H.R. 3619, I 
submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Don Young
  Bill Number: H.R. 3619
  Provision: Section 1307
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: USCG Cutter Storis Museum & Maritime 
Education Center, LLC
  Address of Requesting Entity: 229 4th Street, Juneau, Alaska 99801
  Description of Request: The Storis Museum is organized and 
established for the purpose of obtaining the USCG Cutter Storis from 
the government of the United States of America and establishing a non-
profit museum in Alaska that will maintain the Storis in Alaska when 
the vessel is declared surplus. It is the intent of the Storis Museum 
to make the USCG Cutter Storis available to the public as a museum and 
to work cooperatively with other museums to provide education and 
memorialize the maritime heritage of the Storis and other maritime 
activities in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, the Arctic Ocean and 
adjacent oceans and seas and such other lawful affairs allowed in 
Alaska.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Don Young
  Bill Number: H.R. 3619

  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Stabbert Maritime
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2629 NW 54th Street, #W-201, Seattle, 
WA 98107
  Description of Request: This provision would restore the coastwise 
privileges to the U.S.-built research ship, the Ocean Veritas, that was 
sold foreign in 1997 but now is in the process of being reflagged to 
the U.S. flag. The ship was built in 1974 by Halter Marine Fabricators, 
Gulfport, MS, which is also its homeport. However, unless this 
provision is enacted the vessel would be without coastwise privileges 
as a result of that prior sale to a foreign owner.
