Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding in the FY10 Department of Commerce, Justice and

Science Appropriations Act for the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association.
The entity to receive funding for this project is located at 725 Christensen Drive,
Suite 3-8, Anchorage, AK 99508. It is my understanding that the funding would
be used to fund the activities of the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association.
I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any direct financial interest in this
project.

I hereby certify that this request will be made publicly available on my Office
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: (1) is not directed to an entity or
program that will be named after a sitting Member of Congress; (2) is not
intended for a "front" or "pass through" entity; 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.
