Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding in the FY 10 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies

Appropriations from the Community Oriented Policing Services account for the Office of
the Sheriff of Winnebago County, Illinois to purchase new mobile radios.

The entity to receive this funding is the Office of the Sheriff of Winnebago County
located at 650 West State Street in Rockford, Illinois, 61102. Mr. Richard A. Meyers,
who is the Sheriff of Winnebago County, has advised me that the funds would be used to
purchase new, modern, interoperable mobile radios to improve communications among
multiple law enforcement agencies in several counties along Illinois-Wisconsin border. I
certifY that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on the pecuniary
interests of my spouse or me. I hereby certify that this request will also 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 certify that to
the best of my knowledge this request: (l) 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 purposes 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.

Donald A. Manzullo
Member of Congress
