NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
Page 2 -10/5/01
ERHC - Harding
Thus we are asking for the City Administration to assist us in requesting that the National
Security Agencies review the current situation, and endorse our plan, which requests very limited
access to only two of the three heliports.
In these times of severe restrictions on ground transportation access, the necessity and
value of helicopter access to Manhattan by the business community and their clients, is more
important than ever. If helicopter access to Manhattan continues to be unavailable, it would be
counter productive to the Mayor's desire for recovery, and business as usual As previously
indicated by the New York E.D.C., the heliports, and related helicopter activities contribute an
estimated 160 million dollars to the City economy each year. We desire nothing more than to
continue to contribute to the City's economic base, as we have for over 50 years.
After your review of the attached, should you have any questions, require any additional
information, or our presence at any meeting, please let me know.
We stand ready to do our part in helping our city recover, however we must have access to
the heliports to do so.
I sincerely hope you can assist us with this matter, and thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
a
Matthew S. Zuccaro
