2647, The National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010 
contains the following funding that I requested:
  Requesting Member: Rep. Zach Wamp 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Military Construction, Army
  Legal Name Requesting Entity: Fort Campbell, Kentucky
  Address: 39 Normandy Avenue, Fort Campbell, Kentucky
  Description of Request: There is inadequate chapel space at Ft. 
Campbell. The current facilities are scattered across the entire 
installation in several substandard World War II buildings that are in 
disrepair. The construction of a chapel complex will provide every Fort 
Campbell soldier, their family members and retirees a quality facility 
in which to worship and practice their religious faith. As overseas 
deployments remain high, an increasing number of soldiers and families 
will rely on the chapel to support their spiritual needs. The local 
Clarksville Chamber of Commerce has strongly advocated for a new chapel 
on Ft. Campbell.
  Distribution of funding: Chapel, 72 percent; Antiterrorism/Force 
Protection Measures, 1 percent; Infrastructure (electric, water), 11 
percent; Supervision, Inspection & Overhead, 16 percent.
  Requesting Member: Rep. Zach Wamp 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: Military Construction, Army
  Legal Name Requesting Entity: Fort Campbell, Kentucky
  Address: 39 Normandy Avenue, Fort Campbell, Kentucky
  Description of Request: A consolidated physical fitness facility is 
required to enable soldiers to maintain required fitness levels, 
provide facilities for recreational use and increase the quality of 
life for military dependents. The designated location for the fitness 
center is in a remote part of the installation where no facilities 
exist. The local Clarksville Chamber of Commerce has strongly advocated 
for an improved physical fitness center on Ft. Campbell.
  Distribution of funding: Planning and Design, 100 percent.
  Requesting Member: Rep. Zach Wamp 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2647
  Account: National Nuclear Security Administration
  Legal Name Requesting Entity: Y-12 National Security Complex
  Address: Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, TN 37830
  Description of Request: The Operations of Facilities Program 
contributes to the transformation of the Y-12 site into a smaller, less 
expensive and more responsive enterprise. The Operations of Facilities 
Program provides the facilities and infrastructure required to support 
dismantlement, weapons production and other national security missions.
  Distribution of funding: Service Contract, 100 percent.
