I am requesting funding in the FYIO CJS Appropriations bill, Department of Justice, OJP
- Juvenile Justice Account for the Youth Mentoring Program. The entity to receive funding for
this project is Team Focus, Inc., 6110 Grelot Road, Mobile, AL 36609. To the best of my
knowledge, the funding would be used for a mentoring and education program for fatherless
young men. 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 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 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 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.
