Fund the 9/11 Health Program

In light of the devastating events of 9/11/2001 and the impact to survivors, Lower Manhattan residents urge the Federal government to extend the contracts for the World Trade Center Environmental Health Center (WTC EHC) and Data Center to administer the WTCHealth Program’s Survivor Program, and pass the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act (HR 4965) to fund the health program. 

Sincerely,

Richard Corman
President, Downtown Independent Democrats
