  Mr. CRENSHAW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to submit documentation 
consistent with the new Republican Earmark Standards.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Ander Crenshaw
  Bill Number: H.R. 6599--Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act For Fiscal Year 2009
  Account: Military Construction, Navy
  Legal Name of Receiving Entity: Naval Air Station Jacksonville
  Address of Receiving Entity: Jacksonville, Florida
  Description of Request: I have secured $12,890,000 in funding in H.R. 
6599 in the Military Construction, Navy account for Child Development 
Center project at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida.
  Project will construct a Child Development Center (CDC) for 302 
children ages 6 weeks to 6 years for full-day, part-day, and hourly 
care that are currently housed in substandard buildings and inadequate 
temporary trailers.
  The existing child care facility accommodates approximately 246 
children. Another 84 children are on an excess demand waiting list. 
Unborn infants projected list totals 46. Current facilities provide 
only a fraction of the space required for child care.
  Additional space is required to reduce the waiting list of military 
dependents seeking child care services at NAS Jacksonville.
  Naval Air Station Jacksonville is a strategic base for the Navy. This 
project was programmed by the Navy to receive funding in Fiscal Year 
2009.
  Military Construction projects are always 100 percent funded by the 
U.S. Federal government so there is no opportunity for matching funds.
