NEW YORK - The American Red Cross announced $16 million in World Trade Center health-care grants yesterday, while Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and other New York lawmakers said the federal government had reneged on promises to help first responders to the trade center.
'It's hard to imagine that we can't get the help that we need,' said Clinton (D., N.Y.), who was joined by Red Cross officials and Democratic Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Carolyn B. Maloney at the headquarters of the Red Cross' New York chapter."
