  Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the 
following information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 
2847, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Act, 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Tim Murphy
  Bill Number: H.R. 2847, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Department of Justice; Juvenile Justice
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Kids Voice
  Address of Requesting Entity: 437 Grant Street, Suite 700, 
Pittsburgh, PA 15219
  Amount: $500,000
  Description of Request: The funding would be used to increase their 
impact in the community and to support programs that are offered to 
abused and neglected children in Allegheny County.
  In addition, KidsVoice seeks to increase its impact by expanding 
services that will help clients become productive adults, despite the 
obstacles they face. The funding will expand KidsVoice efforts in 
assisting foster youth to pursue post-secondary education, job training 
and employment. I certify that this project does not have a direct and 
foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of me or my spouse.
  I took extreme care to ensure that these projects are well vetted and 
strongly supported within the community. The KidsVoice appropriation is 
of particular interest to my district and importance to my 
constituents.
