Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding in the FYI 0 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related

Agencies Appropriations bill, COPS Technology account for Oakland County,
Michigan. The entity to receive funding for this project is Oakland County Sheriffs Office at
1201 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac, MI 48341. It is my understanding that the funding would
be used to complete a three part biometric identification enhancement project. I certify that
this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on my pecuniary interests.

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 eannarks, 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; (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 eannark; 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.'O-0- Mike Rogers (MI)

Member of Congress
