The Honorable Jerry Lewis, Ranking Member

Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,
I am requesting funding in the FYI0 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill,
Office of Justice Programs' COPS-Meth account for Illinois State University. The entity
to receive funding for this project is Illinois State University at Campus Box 4040, Hovey
310, Normal, Illinois 61790. It is my understanding this funding would be used to
expand the program that Illinois State University has created in collaboration with
Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center that addresses the epidemic of
methamphetamine use through treatment of arrested juveniles from rural populations.
I certify that this proj ect does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary
interests of me or my spouse.
I further 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 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; (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
PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
will place a statement in the Congressional Record describing how the funds will be
spent and justifying the use of federal taxpayer funds.
Sincerely,
r
TimothyV.
