JOINT ECONOMIC COMMITTEE

To Whom It May Concern:

I am requesting funding for the Bay Area SATOP project: in fiscal year 2010. The entity to
receive funding for this project is: Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, 2525 Bay Area
Blvd, Houston, Texas 77058. The funding would be used to transfer the knowledge and
technology of the US Space Program to small business for commercial purposes. SATOP
provides technical assistance to small businesses. I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any
financial interest in this project.

I hereby certify that each 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 each 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 fun<hng 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.

Cordially,

Ron Paul
