    Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

    I am requesting funding in the FYIO Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill,


    NOAA - National Weather Service, Operations, Research, and Facilities account for the
    NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office. The entity to receive funding for this project is the
    NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office at 410 Severn Avenue, Annapolis, MD, 21403. It is my
    understanding that the funding would be used to purchase a buoy for Delaware as part of
    the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System. I certify that this project does not have a
    direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary interests of my spouse or me.

    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 earmarks, I hereby certify that to
    the best of my knowledge this request: (I) is not directed to an entity or program that will
    be named after a sitting Member of Congress [OR: was named after Representative John
    Doe in 1983]; (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 ofthe 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.

    Michael N. Castle
    Member of Congress
