Letter to Barack Obama, President of the United States - Federal Disaster Declaration in Iowa

Letter

Date: July 9, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Environment

Dear Mr. President:

I respectfully ask that you grant the request made July 6, 2010 by Iowa Governor Chet Culver for a declaration of a major disaster for the State of Iowa as a result of a severe weather system that produced high winds, heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, flooding and tornadoes beginning on June 1, 2010 and continuing. The Governor determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected governments to handle effectively and federal assistance is needed.

Thank you for your prompt consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Grassley
United States Senator
