As part of our Lewis and Clark campaign, we are hoping to get the National Park Service to help in the preparation of a Comprehensive Plan for the Loess Hills of Iowa. Rep. Steve King asked for a resolution from the Iowa Senate inviting the congress to appropriate the money for the National Park Service to partner with state and local government and private groups on this Plan. We owe Senator Steve Warnstadt great appreciation for composing and championing the resolution. Please read the full resolution in the attachment. Now we need the other members of Iowa's congressional delegation to communicate their support to Rep. King.
