I am requesting funding for the Lehigh and Northampton Counties Interoperability

Development Project in fiscal year 2010. The entity to receive funding for this project is the
Allentown Police Department, located at 425 Hamilton Street, Allentown, PA 18101. The
funding would be used to develop a cohesive, regional communications network of voice, data
and video information sharing which will allow multiple jurisdictions to perform day-to-day
public safety operations, task force operations or large scale disaster situations through a seamless
exchange of voice and data communications in real time circumstances. 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 Chairman Obey's new Committee policy that only posted requests will be considered.

Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on Congressionally Directed Projects, 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 project; and (3) meets or exceeds all statutory requirements for matching
funds where applicable. I further certify that should this project be included in the bill, I will
place a statement in the Congressional Record justifying the use of federal taxpayer funds.

Charles W. Dent
Member of Congress
