BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, on behalf of the chairman of the subcommittee, Senator Specter, I want to state that this amendment restores $125 million previously appropriated to New York as part of the emergency supplemental bill under chapter 11, relief and recovery, passed by the Congress and signed into law by President Bush on January 10, 2002.
The funds would be used for such purposes as mental health treatment and long-term health monitoring of rescue and recovery personnel.
The amendment is fully offset.
I ask for a voice vote on this amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to amendment No. 2313.
The amendment (No. 2313) was agreed to.
