"In a short time, the Senate will vote on and pass a permanent reauthorization of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
Speaking here on the Senate floor, I cannot do justice to the years upon years of work by the first responders, labor leaders, & advocates that led to this moment"
"BIG NEWS: The Senate just passed the bill to make the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund virtually permanent.
The struggle of nearly two decades to get these brave men and women what they deserve is--hopefully, finally--complete."
"America can never fully repay the debt we owe our 9/11 first responders, who bravely rushed into danger when our country was under attack.
But the least we can do is make sure they receive the help they deserve.
The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund will now be virtually permanent."
