                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 23, 2009

  Mr. McCARTHY of California. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership guidelines on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information for publication in the Congressional Record regarding 
earmarks I requested that were included as part of H.R. 3293, the 
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kevin McCarthy
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources 
and Services Administration--Health Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: San Luis Obispo County Community 
College District
  Address of Requesting Entity: P.O. Box 8106, San Luis Obispo, 
California 93403
  Description of Request: $100,000 was included for the San Luis Obispo 
County Community College District's (Cuesta College) Department of 
Nursing & Allied Health SLO & NC to fund upgrades to nursing program 
training rooms and purchase new medical training equipment to create 
modern hospital settings for teaching students. Though hospital 
settings remain the best laboratory for student learning, it is high-
risk. This funding will provide Cuesta College nursing students with 
state-of-the-art, hands-on learning in a low-risk environment, which 
helps ensure future nurses from Cuesta College have the skills and 
training to save lives in hospitals and emergency rooms in the region 
and beyond.
