STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON PRESIDENT BUSH INCLUDING FUNDING FOR WORLD TRADE CENTER HEALTH PROGRAMS

“It’s encouraging that the President will include funding for the 9/11 health treatment programs in his budget for the first time, and on behalf of all new Yorkers I want to thank him for taking this important step.  As the interagency 9/11 health panel headed by Deputy Mayors Linda Gibbs and Ed Skyler will report next month, programs like those at the Fire Department and Mt. Sinai and Bellevue hospitals are working well, but will need vastly more support from Washington to help the men and women who responded following World Trade Center attacks and residents, students, and office workers who were in Lower Manhattan.”
