Ranking Member

Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding in the FY 10 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies

Appropriations bill, COPS Law Enforcement Technology account for· the Kannapolis Regional Radio
Upgrade. The entity to receive funding for this project is the City of Kannapolis's Communications
Tower, 932 Floyd Street, Kannapolis, NC 28083. It is my understanding that the funding would be used
to upgrade the regional radio system with a fully digital network which operates in a frequency range
compatible with other state and federal law enforcement agencies. I certify that this project does not have
a direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of me or my family.

I hereby certify that this request will be made publicly available on my Official Website as
required by Chairman Obey's 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 is not directed to an entity or program that will be named after a sitting
Member of Congress, 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 meets or exceeds alI 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.

~tM
