Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,
I am requesting funding in the FYI 0 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill,
Department of Justice, OJP - Juvenile Justice account for Children and Families First.
The entity to receive funding for this project is Children and Families First at 2005
Baynard Blvd, Wihnington, DE, 19802. It is my understanding that the funding would be
used for Functional Family Therapy for At-Risk Youth to provide intensive community-
based counseling and case management to youth ages 10-18 and their families in all three
counties in Delaware. 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 Chainnan Obey's new Committee policy that only posted requests will be
considered.
Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby certify that to
the best of my knowledge this request: (1) 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 ofthe 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.
