Reposting: an *important* report on FEMA post 9-11 by Jerry Nadler

[theHandpuppet]

In this report you will find that Rep Nadler (D- NY) was critical of the FEMA response to 9-11. This is important in that here we are in 2005 and find that Bush and the Dept. of Homeland Security have FAILED to make the recommended changes; if anything, things have gotten even worse. This is a paper trail of evidence pointing to negligence and incompetence on the part of the Bush administration.

Please keep filed for reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 22, 2003

REP. NADLER OFFERS ASSESSMENT OF FEDERAL RESPONSE TO 9.11 IN FRONT OF NATIONAL COMMISSION

(excerpt)

"Our office also worked closely with FEMA. FEMA funds, of course, paid for the clean up of the debris, which was accomplished very quickly, and I applaud them for that. However, possibly because they had other pressing matters to attend to, they were not nearly as responsive to my constituents as I would have liked. My office had to usher a good number of people through the FEMA process, and open doors for them, simply so that they could get the aid they were entitled to. People should not have to rely on a Congressional office to get the aid they deserve."
