  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I, Kay Granger, submit the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3082, Military 
Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act for fiscal year 
2010. For the project titled ``Replace Joint Base Communications 
Building,'' which received $6,170,000 in H.R. 3082, in the Navy Reserve 
Military Construction account, the legal name and address of the 
receiving entity is NAS JRB Fort Worth, in Fort

Worth, TX. Funds will be used to build a new communications building. 
The existing base communications building is undersized. The location 
of communications assets must remain in that position since 
communications lines that run throughout the base run underground into 
the building's terminal/switch room. This facility, built in 1951, does 
not lend itself to the demands of current technologies. This has 
resulted in piecemeal renovations over the years in an attempt to meet 
growing communications needs. The existing space will not accommodate 
growth requirements for the terminal/switch room, threatening a loss in 
communication functionality base-wide.
