  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership

the following information regarding project funding I requested for 
Southeast Louisiana as part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

Bill

Infrastructure Project
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: St. Tammany Parish

  Description of Request: I have secured $500,000 for St. Tammany 
Parish. This funding will be used to create an on-line retention pond
