Unfortunately, under the rules of the House of Representatives for the 112th Congress, Congressman Young is unable to request earmarks, or directed funding to specific projects.
Under House Rule 21, clause 9, an earmark is defined as, “a provision or report language included primarily at the request of a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, or Senator providing, authorizing or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality or Congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative formula driven or competitive award process.”
However, if you have a programmatic or legislative language request for the upcoming Fiscal year 2013 appropriations bill, please submit your requests to donyoung.2011@mail.house.gov by March 1, 2012.
