It has been through their perseverance that they have garnered the resources necessary to establish and operate this training facility for the benefit of all the citizens of Oakland.

OCCUR created the Eastmont Computing Center (ECC) to serve as a community resource on information technologies in order to provide universal computer and Internet access and employment focused training to Oakland citizens.

This milestone will be commemorated aboard the U.S.S. Hornet Museum with a nine-day festival, called 'Moonfest 1999.'

I also want to thank the U.S.S. Hornet, her crew and all of the people involved with the Apollo Program for successfully bringing the Apollo 11 crew home safely.

This historic landing, and the many that followed, was achieved in large part by the dedication and creativity of several California aerospace corporations and their subcontractors.

I am excited and honored to join in this celebration and encourage all to participate in the Moonfest 1999 activities.

Planning for the first human landing on the moon began in April 1957 and in July 1960, NASA named the program 'Project Apollo' with five goals.

Moonfest 1999 is an event blending history, education and family entertainment together in celebration of one of the greatest achievements of the 20th Century.

I rise in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing by astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Michael Collins.

I proudly join citizens throughout the world in celebrating the 30th anniversary of the monumental achievement of the first lunar landing.
