House Leader Vows to Return NYC 9/11 Funds

A top House Republican has promised to give back to New York some $125 million in Sept. 11 aid that lawmakers had decided to take away just a week earlier...

..."As we agreed, the Congress will include this funding in the upcoming emergency appropriations bill to fund the recovery and rebuilding efforts for hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The bill we send to the president for signature will include the $125 million," [House Speaker Dennis] Hastert wrote in the letter dated Monday and made public Tuesday.
