Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

Hey, I had a town hall. I had a fire captain show up to this town hall. Somebody who worked at Ground Zero. And he is somebody who said he was diagnosed with cancer. He said he's on borrowed time. And he was livid, absolutely livid about what he said, the administration gutting the World Trade Center health program.

And we've talked through some of these cuts that have happened before, some staff cuts, some maybe brought back on, the administrator cut. I just need to hear from you. I promise as fire captain, I'd ask you about this. What in the world happened? Why was the staff cut for this program? What are we to expect going forward? I restored the staff to the program. Why was it cut to start with?

I don't think you were trying to be as careful as you can. I mean, that's the problem that we've seen by rushing these decisions forward. This was, I know, early in your time there.

So where is this going to land now? Can you tell us right now that the World Trade Center health program will go back to where it was before you became secretary?
