Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding in the FYI0 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations bill, COPS Technology account for the Cornerstone Regional Justice Infonnation
System. The entity to receive funding for this project is the Jasper County Commission located at
302 South Main, Carthage, Missouri 64836. It is my understanding that the funding would be
used to purchase equipment to enhance cooperative multi-jurisdictional law enforcement efforts
by improving communications and criminal information sharing among local and state agencies
in Southwest Missouri. I certify that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on
the pecuniary interests of me or my spouse.

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; (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 will place a statement in the
Congressional Record describing how the funds will be spent and justifying the use of federal
taxpayer funds.
