                      Wednesday, December 16, 2009

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. 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. 3288, the 
Departments of Transportation, HUD, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2010.
  Project Name: Arctic Utilidors (Phase 11) at Eielson Air Force Base, 
Alaska
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Legal Name and address of entity receiving earmark: Eielson Air Force 
Base, Alaska 99702
  Description of how the money will be spent and why the use of federal 
taxpayer funding is justified: This project (which would be another 
increment in a highly successful, multi-year funding effort) will 
repair large sections of the utilidor that are in extreme need. The 
utilidors and related piping were constructed and installed in the 
1950s and were they to fail during the winter season, when temperatures 
are commonly -40F and lower, the base could suffer catastrophic results 
in as quickly as four hours.
  Appropriated Amount: $9,900,000
  Detailed Finance Plan: Repairs $9,900,000
  Project Name: Install Edge Lights, Taxiway Golf at Eielson Air Force 
Base, Alaska
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Legal Name and address of entity receiving earmark: Eielson Air Force 
Base, Alaska 99702
  Description of how the money will be spent and why the use of federal 
taxpayer funding is justified: Provides for new taxiway edge lights 
along a major aircraft access point to the base runway. Project 
includes installing 12,000 lineal feet of underground wiring and 
lighting fixtures. There will also be new asphalt shoulders installed 
after the lighting is completed.
  Appropriated Amount: $3,450,000
  Detailed Finance Plan: Installation $3,450,000
