Many voters feel about the government. This runs about an hour and 45 minutes. Sen cruz good ever good afternoon. Let me begin by thanking you all for attending, and thanking senator hirono for working with me and my staff to convene this hearing and bring these witnesses together.

Today the senate has an opportunity to honor these three and so many others that we have lost who never stopped fighting for 9 11 First Responders and the country they loved by voting yes on this critical legislation. Ive shared with many of my colleagues, i never had the privilege of going to new york city before september 11th, 2001, but i will never forget my first visit after september 11, 2001. It was just a few weeks after the attack had happened. Ill never forget the smell. Ill never forget the smoke coming out of the debris pile. Ill never forget the silent fire trucks with their lights on but no siren as they delivered even more heroes to the Recovery Effo
