                        Thursday, July 23, 2009

  Mr. PUTNAM. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3293, the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Adam H. Putnam
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Department of Health and Human Services--Health Resources 
and Services Administration (HRSA)
  Project Funding Amount: $400,000
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Florida Southern College
  Address of Requesting Entity: 111 Lake Hollingsworth Drive, Lakeland, 
FL 33801
  Description of Request: It is my understanding that the funding would 
be used for construction costs and to purchase instructional technology 
and equipment for the nursing skills lab to allow Florida Southern 
College (FSC) to continue increasing student enrollment in its nursing 
programs in an effort to address the well-documented, critical shortage 
of nurses in the State of Florida and the nation. Specifically, 
accommodating rapidly growing enrollment in Florida FSC's RN-to-BSN, 
BSN, and MSN programs and to prepare for further growth from their 
three-year cooperative BSN program with Polk State (Community) College, 
FSC is constructing a 3,000-square-foot expansion of the Joe K. and 
Alberta Blanton Nursing Building, which will house a classroom and a 
high-tech nursing skills lab.
