  Mr. CAO. 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. 2997--the Department of 
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010:
  As requested by me, Rep. Anh ``Joseph'' Cao, H.R. 2997--the 
Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010, provides 
for Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, in support of phytoestrogen 
research project. This is in the Agricultural Research Account in the 
amount of $1,426,000. This will benefit Tulane University, 6823 St. 
Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118, in the form of funding to be 
used to partner the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research 
(CBR) and the University of Toledo to manipulate phytoestrogen and 
phyto-antiestrogen levels in soybean seed and soy-based products. This 
project discovers new effects of natural dietary constituents 
(phytoestrogens) on health and disease in human; especially, estrogen-
sensitive organs, such as breast, reproductive and cardiovascular 
systems.
