Dear Chairman Mollohan and Ranking Member Wolf:

I am requesting funding for the Joint County Gang and Suppression Task Force in the fiscal year
2010 bill. The entity to receive funding for this project is the University of Maryland Public Safety Training
and Technical Assistance Program, located at 9001 Edmonston Road, Greenbelt, MD, 20770. This
request will support a gang prevention and suppression task force in Montgomery and Prince George's
Counties. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.

Sincerely,

CHRIS VAN HOLLEN

Member of Congress
