Statement from Construction Companies on 9/11 Congressional Health and Compensation Act-HR 6594
WASHINGTON, July 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Construction companies involved in the clean-up of the World Trade Center after the 2001 terrorist attack strongly support the re-introduction of H.R. 6594, an improved version of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act that makes significant progress in resolving the issues faced by the construction companies and workers responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The legislation is a bipartisan solution that addresses the health and liability issues for the workers and the construction companies that came to the aid of the nation on 9/11. Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Vito Fossella (R-NY), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Peter King (R-NY), Zoe Lofgren (D-Ca), and Steve King (R-IA) have worked hard to draft this legislation, which is designed to help heal the wounds of 9/11. The companies will continue to work with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic and Republican leadership in Congress on this legislation to meet the significant challenges facing all concerned so that it can be approved this year.
The companies are Bovis Lend Lease LMB, Inc., Tully Construction Co. Inc., Turner Construction Company, AMEC Construction Management, Inc., and Plaza Construction Corporation.
