DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Rep. Tom Latham of Iowa has introduced a bill to try to keep the F-16 aircraft at the Iowa Air National Guard's 132nd Fighter Wing in Des Moines.
The Des Moines Register reports that the bill has the backing of each member of Iowa's federal delegation. That includes Democratic U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell, whom Latham defeated in November for Iowa's 3rd Congressional District seat.
But Republican U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley says there appears to be little chance of reversing action by a House-Senate panel this week to eliminate all 21 F-16 jets at the Des Moines Air National Guard Base.
