Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding for the City of Detroit's Firearm Reduction Initiative in fiscal year 2010.

The entity to receive funding for this project is:

City of Detroit - Firearm Reducation Initiative
2 Woodward Ave., Ste. 1126
Detroit, MI 48226

The funding would be used for allowing personnel to increase visibility in targeted areas and
respond to all fatal and non-fatal shootings, armed robberies, and carjackings within the
Eastern and Northeastern Districts.

I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.

Sincerely,
