Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding in the FYlO Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations bill,
COPS Law Enforcement Technology account for the San Antonio Police Department. The entity
to receive funding for this project is the City of San Antonio, 214 W. Nueva, San Antonio, Texas
78207. It is my understanding that the funding would be used for the installation of in-car video
equipment and the implementation of a digital imagery capture and storage system. 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 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: (I) 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 celiify 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.

Lamar Smith
