Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding in the FYI 0 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill,


Department of Justice, COPS Law enforcement Technology account. The entity to receive
funding for tltis project is Washington Parish Sherriff, 1002 Main Street, Franklinton, LA 70438.
It is my understanding that the funding will provide law enforcement equipment (In-vehicle
notebook computers and other law enforcement equipment), to provide proactive and reactive
law enforcement activities for the safety of citizens and law enforcement officials engaged in law
enforcement activities. I certifY that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on
the pecuniary interests of my spouse or me.

I hereby certifY that this request will be made publicly available on my Official Website as
required by Chairman Obey's new Committee policy that only posted requests will be
considered.

Consistent with the Republican Leadersltip's policy on earmarks, I hereby certifY that to the best
of my knowledge this request: (I) is not directed to an entity or program that will be named after
a sitting Member of Congress [OR: was named after Representative John Doe in 1983]; (2) is not
intended to be used by an entity to secure funds for other entities unless the use of funding is
consistent with the specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all statutory
requirements for matching funds where applicable. I further certifY that should this request be
included in the bill, I will place a statement in the Congressional Record describing how the
funds will be spent and justifYing the use of federal taxpayer funds .
