Secretary Mineta Honored

Norm MinetaThe San Jose City Council renamed San Jose International Airport to honor U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta in early November

"Renaming our highest profile transportation facility for Norm Mineta is an excellent recognition for a son of San Jose who has dedicated nearly four decades of exemplary public service to our community and our country," said San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales.

From 1975 to 1995 Mineta served in Congress, where he chaired the House Public Works and Transportation Committee as well as the committee's Aviation Subcommittee and its Surface Transportation Subcommittee, and was instrumental in passage of the landmark Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Early in his career, Mineta served as mayor of San Jose and as a city councilman.
