Hearings on the other victims of 9/11. It's about time!

NEW YORK CITY
Congress will examine health of 9/11 workers

8/18/2005

NEW YORK (AP) - Members of Congress will hold a rare hearing in New York City on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to examine long-term health effects for ground zero workers.
Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., will convene the hearing of the House government reform subcommittee Sept. 10 in lower Manhattan, aides said Wednesday.

The panel is inviting officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Health and Human Services, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

The hearing comes as the federal government is poised to take back about $125 million in unspent Sept. 11 aid that Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-Manhattan, argues should be redirected to caring for those with long-term health problems resulting from their exposure to toxic materials at ground zero.

1. I can't believe they aren't doing this until now
I read so many reports of people who couldn't breath and had chest pains that day. Not to mention whatever was in the air other than asbestos.

2. They should show the first portion of the DVD . . .
"Confronting the Evidence: A Call to Reopen the 9/11 Investigation" which starts off the 9-11 truth film by doing a memorial for those who lost their lives, and then dealing with the serious life-threatening health issues that the rescue workers, survivors, citizens of NY are dealing with in a very powerful way. How many more 1000s will die as a result of the health issues? Ed Begley is the host.

Then someone should accidently just let the DVD continue to play (Oops! Mybad?) and we will get two birds with one stone: a hearing on 9-11 health issues, and a hearing on 9-11 Truth. :rofl:

To get your copy of the DVD to show, make copies of it, give away, (not copyrighted so you can copy until every one on planet earth has a copy. Ok that's going a bit too far). If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it (4 hour DVD):

call: 1-805-730-9241

The cover-up on the health issues of the toxic air and environment on 9-11 and there after in NY City is criminal, and the EPA under the thumb and rule of the BCF/Neo-con administration is to blame.
