The Honorable David Obey

Chairman
House Appropriations Committee
Room H218, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Chairman Obey:

I, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, am requesting funding for the City of Detroit for
FY 2010. The entity to receive funding for this project, entitled the Firearms Reduction
Initiative, is located at Suite 1126,2 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226. The Detroit Police
Department requests funding to purchase and equip two infrastructure protection helicopters for
use by the Department as a fuel efficient means of patrolling large areas, including homes,
schools, public transit facilities and critical infrastructure sites. I certify that neither I nor my
spouse has any financial interest in this project.

Sincerely,

~t1.~
Carolyn C. Kilpatrick
Member of Congress
