In a terse letter to U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo says she is "disturbed" by news reports about the planned demolition of the unique "cork room" inside Moffett Field's Hangar One, and she asks pointed questions about why the Navy is set to destroy the historic structure.

Hi folks,
The Cork room should only be preserved if it is of interest to the general public and with no pictures to see of the present state of the room or of the cost of restoring it, trying to figure out if it is worth saving is difficult.
If you want to see more on modern airships, past, present and future see: www.airshipblimp.com or if you just want a helium sniffing laugh try www.airship.me the worlds only lighter than air comedy site, with lots of funny pictures and U tube links fit for all the family.
Regards Bond, James Bond.

Historical preservation decisions should not be based on what is of interest to the general public.

For those who feel it is of great value, please feel free to spend your own dough to save it. No one is going to stop you.

Shouldn't Ms. Eshoo be concerned with more important matters?

I wonder if she is disturbed by the 1,500,000,000,000 dollar per year deficit?
