  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House 
Republican standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3288, FY2010 
Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act.
  Requesting Member: Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Surface and Transportation Priorities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Washington State Department of 
Transportation
  Address of Requesting Entity: 310 Maple Park Drive, SE, Olympia, WA

  Description of Request: Provide an addition of $400,000 for advancing 
project design, purchasing critical right of ways, and supplement 
project construction in the corridor from Interstate 90 to U.S 395 at 
Wandermere in Spokane, WA. When completed, this 60 mile per hour 
freeway facility will connect Interstate 90 on the south with U.S. 2 
and U.S. 395 in the north of Spokane. The U.S. 395 North Spokane 
Corridor will move freight and other traffic off of existing congested 
surface streets. The completed facility will accommodate the current

  Requesting Member: Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers
  Bill Number: H.R. 3288
  Account: Surface and Transportation Priorities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Port of Walla Walla

the U.S. 12 corridor. Expanding U.S. 12 from two lanes to a four-lane, 
divided highway is critical for improving safety, fostering economic 
development throughout southeast Washington and addressing growing 
congestion.
