  Mrs. MYRICK. 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. 2638--the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance,

the procurement and installation of Canned Lube Pumps (CLP) on four

units to complete the LSD-41 class. Approximately $400,000 is for 
technical support for installation; $2.8 million for the CLP units and 
installation; $600,000 for battle spares; $200,000 for prototype ship
