The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“EARMARK DECLARATION” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E619 on March 10, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
EARMARK DECLARATION
______
HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information regarding an earmark I received as part of the FY2009 Omnibus.
Division I: Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2009
Account: Department of Transportation, Technical Corrections
Legal Name of Entity: County of Morris
Address of Requesting Entity: 30 Schuyler Place, Morristown, New Jersey 07940
Description of Request: $800,000 was authorized under section 1702 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (P.L. 109-59), to divert traffic from the steep grade at Schooley's Mountain Road and add roadway, construct a bridge over the Raritan River, and replace existing culverts. The technical correction will modify the current language of ``Construct Long Valley Bypass,'' with ``Planning, design, engineering, environmental analysis, acquisition of rights-of-way, and construction for the Long Valley Bypass.'' This is a technical correction to an existing authorization and has no budgetary impact.
