Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting $325,000 for the Mobile Data Computer Infrastructure. The entity to receive
funding for this project is the City of Escondido located at:

201 North Broadway

Escondido, CA 92008

The Escondido Police Department is seeking funding for 65 new Mobile Data Computers
(MDCs). The Police Department currently maintains approximately 160 MDCs. About 40
percent of these are three to four years old and are used beyond the manufacturers warranty
period. Although these MDCs are still in the field and functioning, they are very costly to
maintain.

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 named or will be named
after a sitting Member of Congress (2) is not intended for a "front" or "pass through" entity; 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.

I certify that neither I, nor my spouse, have any financial interest in this project.

L'~~~ Brian P. Bilb:~~
