911賠償基金不足 聽證會上引不滿

美聯社報導,脫口秀名嘴史都華在眾院司法委員會的聽證會上,指著一排排國會議員的空座位說,「患病和垂死」的一線應急員及其家人,今天都專程在華府出席聽證會,結果竟然面對著幾乎沒有人的會場。並痛斥911賠償基金大減,是絕對不能接受的事情。

據報導,司法委員會成員有41席眾議員,民主黨籍的27席,共和黨籍的14日席。但11日的911賠償金聽證會上,只有五位國會眾議員出席。世貿雙塔在2001年9月的恐襲中坍塌,散發出的濃煙和毒塵籠罩曼哈頓下城,大火持續燃燒數周,成千上萬的建築工人、警察和消防員等應急人員,在缺乏適當的呼吸保護裝備下在廢墟裡工作。當中許多人在此後幾年,出現呼吸系統或消化系統的疾病,另一些疾病隨年齡增長而形成,包括癌症。

國會後來終於在2011年通過法案,設立911受害人賠償基金法(The Zadroga Act),超過4萬人申請,它涵蓋與世貿中心、五角大樓和賓州仙克斯維爾(Shanksville)的恐襲事件有關的疾病。這個74億基金,已發放了超過50億元,而有2萬1000宗申請尚在審批中。史都華和其他發言人感嘆道,在恐襲發生近18年後,一線應急員及其家屬仍無法保證基金不會用盡。司法部2月時說,支付的福利金會減少多達70%。眾院司法委員會主席納德勒說,削減70%或任何比率的賠償都不能容忍,國會絕對不該准許這樣做。
