  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. 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. 
3326, Department of Defense Appropriations Act FY 2010.
  Name of Requesting Member: J. Gresham Barrett

  Account Number: 0603001A 29 Warfighter Advanced Technology
  Name and address of requesting entity: The entity to receive funding 
for this project is Greenwood Mills, Inc., 300 Morgan Avenue, 
Greenwood, South Carolina, 29646.
  Description of earmark including amount and spending plan: I am 
requesting $1.5 million of funding for Improved Thermal Resistant Nylon 
for Enhanced Durability and Thermal Protection in Combat Uniforms. The 
objective of this program is to develop increased thermal protection 
for our soldiers due to the changing improvised explosive device (IED) 
threat. This program will develop and provide flame resistant combat 
uniforms with proven performance and enhanced durability to ensure 
comfort and safety to the deployed forces and cost-savings to the DOD.

low intensity flash fires. I certify that this project does not have a 
direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of my spouse 
or me.
