“I requested that his subcommittee authorize the first phase of an important 5-phase project to replace seriously deteriorated family housing at the Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, which is in my district. The first phase is a modest beginning of 27 new units costing $5.4 million. I understand that there was insufficient money to accommodate all Members' requests, however worthy. However, I have been informed that the Army intends to fund this project in the fiscal year 2004 budget that will be submitted in February 2003. Mr. Chairman, this project is sorely needed, and I ask that the gentleman support this needed family housing project when his subcommittee reviews the Army's military construction request next year.”
