                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 29, 2008

  Mr. HOBSON. Madam Speaker, in accordance with the February 2008 New 
Republican Earmark Standards Guidance, I submit the following:

  Requesting Member: Congressman David L. Hobson.
  Bill Number: H.R. 6599.
  Provision: Title I, Department of Defense, Military Construction.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Ohio National Guard.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2825 West Dublin-Granville Road, 
Columbus, Ohio 43235-2789.
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $12,800.00 to fund 
acceleration of construction of a facility to relocate the Ohio Air 
National Guard's 269th Combat Communications Squadron and 251st Combat 
Communications Group to another part of the Springfield, Ohio, Air 
National Guard Base. The current 25-year-old facility is obsolete and 
places severe restrictions on the ability to perform equipment 
maintenance and conduct training operations. It does not comply with 
existing codes and has excessive operations and maintenance costs. The 
current building can be reused for other functions but cannot be made 
functionally adequate for the communications mission.

                          ____________________
