                      Wednesday, November 19, 2008

  Mr. EVERETT. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I submit the following information regarding one 
earmark I received as part of H.R. 2638, the Consolidated Security, 
Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act (P.L. 110-329).
  Requesting Member: Congressman Terry Everett.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638, the Consolidated Security, Disaster 
Assistance and Continuing Appropriations Act.
  Account: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE), U.S. 
Army.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Lockheed Martin.
  Address of Requesting Entity: Pike County, Alabama.
  Description of Request: The Close Combat Missile System Modernization 
for Javelin earmark funding is for $3,700,000. This funding will help 
the Army meet its requirements in the Concept Development doctrine 
stating that the Javelin missile be modernized to meet modern and 
irregular warfare needs. The modernization addresses known obsolescence 
issues such as parts replacement and decreasing inventory levels.
  Javelin has been in production since 1994. This modernization program 
will move the missile closer to its objective performance standard, 
while maintaining cost effective production levels and help sustain the 
industrial base.
  The funding is to be used to evolve Javelin capabilities and address 
the requirements stated in the Joint Service Operational Requirement 
for Advanced Anti-Armor Weapons Systems-Medium.
