PLEASE NOTE: EarmarkWatch is an experimental distributed research project that contains data for Fiscal Year 2008 earmarks from the House and Senate Labor-HHS-Education bills and the 2008 House Defense Bill.
It does not contain 2009 earmarks. Congress released earmark disclosures for an omnibus bill that included three of the twelve regular appropriations bills—Defense, Homeland Security, and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs—for fiscal year 2009.
A downloadable spreadsheet listing those earmarks is available from Taxpayers for Common Sense (xls).
“$3,000,000 to Multiple Recipients for Advanced Surface Radar Technologies (ASuRT)”
Sponsors: Rep. Bartlett (R-MD) Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD)
Because this earmark specifies multiple recipients, we'll skip the guided research.
While you are certainly encouraged to
google the recipients for information on them, or to see if they've received contracts or grants in
FedSpending.org, or have made campaign contributions or
hired lobbyists at
opensecrets,
we're not providing a separate set of fields to hold that research.
Feel free to leave information on what you find in the "Add a comment or contribute
additional research" box below.
