                    in the house of representatives

                       Sunday, September 28, 2008

  Mrs. EMERSON. Madam Speaker, in accordance with the February 2008 New 
Republican Earmark Standards Guidance, I submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson.
  Account: Research, Development, Test And Evaluation, Army 98 0604710A 
Night Vision Systems--Sdd.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: DRS Technologies, Inc.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1 McDaniel Street, West Plains, MO 
65775.
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $2,800,000 to complete 
development and qualification of the Common Remote Stabilized Sensor 
System (CRS3). This project has received $2,100,000 in Congressionally 
directed funding to date and has been matched with $1.3 million in 
internal recipient investment. The total development cost is estimated 
to be $7.7 million. CRS3 would place sensor operators under armor, 
eliminating their exposure to snipers and lED's. In addition, it would 
allow the vehicles to conduct surveillance while on the move. This 
request is consistent with the intended and authorized purpose of the 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army account.
