Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding in the FYI 0 CJS Appropriations bill, Department of Justice,

COPS Law Enforcement Technology Account for the P25 Wide Area Radio Network. The entity
to receive funding for this project is the Shelby County Sheriffs Office, P.O. box 1095,
Columbiana, AL 35051. To the best of my knowledge, the funding would be used to upgrade the
Shelby County Sheriffs Office communications network. I certify that this project does not have
a direct and foreseeable effect on the financial 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 eannarks, I hereby certify
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 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.

erely,

tl~
pencer Bachus
Member of Congress
