                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 17, 2009

  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, pursuant to House Republican 
Conference standards on earmarks, I submit the following information 
regarding a project included at my request in H.R. 3183, the Fiscal 
Year 2010 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Jim Jordan (OH-04) Bill: H.R. 3183
  Account: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Section 205 (Flood 
Damage Reduction)
  Requesting entity: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo 
District (1776 Niagara Street, Buffalo, New York 14207)
  Description: The City of Findlay, Ohio, saw three of its worst floods 
in history in just a 13-month period in 2007-08. These floods 
devastated the city, causing significant damage to the downtown 
business district and displacing hundreds of residents. The Army Corps 
of Engineers has worked diligently since the January 2007 flood toward 
developing flood damage reduction plans. I requested $248,000 to 
complete the Section 205 feasibility study and begin design and 
implementation work.
  I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in 
this project.
