CURRENT STATE AND CONDITIONS

We are extremely pleased that IOWA was brought to the Bay Area as a reserve asset.  Words cannot adequately express our satisfaction with the Secretary of the Navy's favorable decision and the Congressional support for this homeporting.  We are grateful for the active support for IOWA's relocation led by Senator Dianne Feinstein of California and the entire California Bay Area Congressional delegation--they include Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Tom Lantos, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher, Congressman George Miller and former Congressman Tom Campbell.  Special thanks, too, to Senator Barbara Boxer of California, Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, Congressman Leonard Boswell of Iowa, and the Congressional staffs for their attention and hard work.  We appreciate the formal endorsements by prior California Governors Gray Davis and Pete Wilson of the State of California and the current Governor Chester Culver and prior Governors Terry Branstad  and Thomas J. Vilsack of the State of Iowa for supporting homeporting the battleship in the San Francisco Bay Area and their appreciation of her value as a future museum and memorial.  We wish to thank past Mayor Willie Lewis Brown, Jr., City and County of San Francisco, for his official endorsement. We are very grateful to Mayor Anthony Intintoli of Vallejo and the City Council for their support to bring the mighty U.S.S. Iowa to Mare Island, Vallejo, as a memorial and museum.
