I hope this note finds you all well. We wanted to share with you information from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum regarding the Pope's visit to the World Trade Center site. On Friday, September 25, 2015, Pope Francis will be making a historic visit to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.

This weekend, we honor the special men in our lives. Our fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and those individuals who have taken on the role of a father in our lives - coaches, colleagues, mentors and friends - have all shaped us into the people we are today. Father's Day is a day of reflection for many, as we remember those who aren't with us. On this special day we remember the many men, of all ages, who were lost on 9/11, whose lives we learned about through working with their families on the 9/11 Living Memorial Project.

Yesterday I attended the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee hearing in Washington, DC. Witnesses provided an update on the World Trade Center Health Program, and first-hand accounts of their treatment for medical conditions as a result of working in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site. The subcommittee is evaluating the effectiveness of the program and considering the reauthorization of the Zadroga Act, which expires in 2016.
