                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. WALTER B. JONES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 10, 2009

  Mr. JONES. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of HR 3082--Military Construction 
and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Rep. Walter B. Jones
  Project: Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) Complex at Seymour Johnson 
Air Force Base Phase 1
  Recipient: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, 1510 Wright Brothers Ave., 
Seymour Johnson AFB, NC 27531
  Account: Military Construction, Air Force
  Amount: $6,900,000
  Explanation: The existing Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) Complex and 
Ground to Air Transmitter/Receiver (GATR) at Seymour Johnson Air Force 
Base are inadequately configured for today's mission and high-tech 
equipment. Replacing these facilities would improve Air Force 
operations and safety and save money by sharply reducing the cost of 
maintaining the existing outdated infrastructure.
