I am requesting funding for the Update of the Lake Texoma Shoreline Management Plan in fiscal
year 2009. The entity to receive this program is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District
- Operation and Maintenance, the City of Denison and other entities will benefit from the update
of the Shoreline Management Plan.
The City of Denison made an initial application for a lease for public park and recreational
purposes with the United States Army Corps of Engineers on the Little Mineral East Cove
adjacent to Lake Texoma. This land represents a significant economic development opportunity
for the City of Denison, the County of Grayson, and the State of Texas due to the potential for
investment, tourism attraction, and other public access benefits to the area. The proposal will
attract significant investment in the community.
The land is currently owned and controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Water
Resources Development Act of2007 mandated a transfer of the land to the City of Denison for
fair market value. Because Lake Texoma is managed by the Army Corps, they have told the City
that in order to approve access to the water for this project that the entire Lake Texoma Shoreline
Management Plan must be updated at a cost of $2.5 million but that it was not included in patt of
their O&M budget submission to Congress. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the
Lake Texoma Shoreline Management Plan was opened for a 30-day review in November, 2004,
which resulted in the conclusion that a Final Environmental Impact Statement would be required ..
I certity that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.
Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby celtity 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 offunding is consistent with the specified purpose of the earmark; and (3)
meets or exceeds all statutory requirements for matching funds where applicable. I fUlther celtity
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 andjustitying the use of federal taxpayer funds.
With kindest regards, I am

powered computing grid (a virtual computing environment) that will facilitate the
solution of interdisciplinary computational and engineering models, and (2) to develop a
computational model of complex electromagnetic wave transmission, propagation, and

Dear Colleague:
This responds to your letter of April 18, 2007 seeking confirmation from the
Committee that you do not have a financial illterest in an earmark you have requested.
Based on your letter and the additional information your staff provided at Committee
counsel's request, the background in this matter is as follows,
You recently submitted a number of earmark requests for flood control and water
development projects in your congressional district. In particular, one request is for a $2
million appropriation to complete a feasibility study and develop levee il:nprovement
alternatives for areas bound by the Sacramento and Feather Rivers in Sutter COlUlty,
California. You submitted this request on behalf of the county and the City of Yuba City,
California. According to your letter, "more thm165,OOO Sutter County residents and over $2
billion in properly and lnfrastructure are protected by the levee system" in the county. You
own a 200-acre ranch in Sutter COllnty that is protected by the levees. The levees are not
located on or adjacent to yom property, The property includes a family-owned ranch and
the operations for a propane gas company. You believe that any benefit to the property
that IIlay result because of the eannark request "would be 'remote' and speculative" lllld
"would only be indirect, in the sense that [you] happen to be part of a much larger class
of Sutter County citizens who would receive the benefit of enhanced flood protection."
As you know, House Rule 23, clause 17, part of the House Code of Official
Conduct, requires that Members who request an earmark certify that the requesting Member
(and the Member's spouse) "has no flnancial interest" in the eannark. On March 27,2007.
the Committee issued an advisory memorandum that describes the factors Members must
consider when determining whether they have a financial interest in an earmark. The
Committee stated that a financial interest will exist in an eannark when it would be
reasonable to conclude that the provision would have a "direct and foreseeable effect on the
pecuniary interest of the Member,"
In the advisory memorandum, the Committee stated that an effect is foreseeable ifit
is "anticipated or predictable," and we cited 5 C.F.R. § 2640.1 03(a)(3), a regulation
promulgated by the Office of Govermnent Ethics, which defines a similar tenn,
APR. 26. 2007 2: 52PM STANDARDS COMMITTEE NO. 0890 P. 3
The Honorable Wally Herger

''predictable,'' as <La real, as opposed to a speculative, possibility that the matter will affect
the financial interest:' That regulation also defines the tenn "direct" as "a close causal link.
between any decision or action to be taken in the matter and any expected effect of the
matter on the financial interest," and states that a ''particular matter that has an effect on a
financial interest only as a consequence of its effects on the generaJ economy does not have
a direct effect within the meaning of this part." For purposes of this response, we adopt that
definition. Further, the Committee stated in the memorandum that a financial interest does
not include a ''remote, inconsequentIal, or speculative interest."
Furthermore, we recognize that MembetS typically own a personal residence or other types
of property in their congressIonal district, and that Obe of a Member's principal
responsibilities is to promote the interests of the district, including by seeking funding for
roads, utilities, and other public works projects.
If you have any further questions, please contact the Committee's Office of Advice
d Education at extension 5-7103.
