Dear Chaitman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding in the FY20 I 0 Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill,
Depaltment of Justice, Office of Justice Assistance account for the Advanced Law Enforcement
Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) program. The entity to receive funding for this project is
Texas State-San Marcos, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666. It is my
understanding that the funding would be used to train law enforcement officers, including
officers from FOlt W OIih Police Depaliment and Texas Christian University Police Department,
to respond and deal with an active shooter situation. 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 earmarks, I hereby celiify 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 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.
