in the house of representatives
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
Mr. CAO. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2997--the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010:
As requested by me, Rep. Anh ``Joseph'' Cao, H.R. 2997--the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010, provides for Tulane University, New Orleans, LA in support of phytoestrogen research project. This is in the Agricultural Research Account in the amount of $1,426,000. This will benefit Tulane University, 6823 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118 in the form of funding to be used to partner the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research (CBR) and the University of Toledo to manipulate phytoestrogen and phyto-
antiestrogen levels in soybean seed and soy-based products. This project discovers new effects of natural dietary constituents
(phytoestrogens) on health and disease in human; especially, estrogen-sensitive organs, such as breast, reproductive and cardiovascular systems.
