                      Thursday, September 18, 2008

  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I received as part of H.R. 6599, FY 09 Military Construction 
and Veterans Affairs Appropriations.
  Bill Number: H.R. 6599.
  Account: Air National Guard/United States Air Force.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Air National Guard/A7 Programming 
Division.
  Address of Requesting Entity: Maryland Air National Guard, Martin 
State Airport, Baltimore, Maryland.
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark asking for $6,300,000 
which was appropriated $7,900,000 to replace fire station and ASE 
facilities at Martin State Airport, Baltimore, MD. The fire station 
must be located such that it can support crash and fire rescue mission 
generated by flying operations and by the joint use agreement between 
the Air National Guard and Maryland Aviation Authority. The 175th Wing 
of the Air National Guard requires an adequately sized and properly 
operating fire station. Currently the base fire station is less than 50 
percent of authorized use. This funding would provide construction for 
21,100 square foot fire station complete with concrete foundation and 
floor slab, steel frame masonry walls with standing seam insulated 
metal roof or “green” roof, as well as, interior 
mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems.
