Secretary Mineta to resign (6/23)

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, an outstanding supporter of the U.S. Merchant Marine, has submitted his resignation to President Bush, effective July 7.

The Transportation Department web site has posted the letter of resignation – in PDF format – here

SIU President Michael Sacco described Mineta as “a tremendous ally through his years of public service in both the Congress and the Clinton and Bush Administrations. We will miss his friendship and his leadership.”
