  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, consistent with the Republican 
Leadership's policy on earmarks, I am submitting the following earmark 
disclosure information regarding project funding I had requested and 
which was included within the legislation H.R. 3082, as reported. To 
the best of my knowledge, funding for this project: (1) is not directed 
to an entity or program that will be named after a sitting Member of 
Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by an entity to secure funds 
for other entities unless the use of funding is consistent with the 
specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all 
statutory requirements for matching funds. I further certify that 
neither my spouse, nor I, have any personal financial interests in this 
request.
