  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, consistent with House Republican Earmark 
Standards, I am submitting the following earmark disclosure and

made and were included within the text of H.R. 3183--The FY 2010 Energy

algae-to-fuels projects in an effort to stimulate green fuels research. 
Specifically, TU has identified five specific project areas that 
require additional development: algae growth mechanisms and kinetics, 
optimization of the catalytic conversion process, optimization of the 
fuel conversion reactions, process simulation, and directed evolution 
of algae.
  Project 3

23 buildings throughout district campuses.
