January 14,2002

Mayor Michael Bloomberg City Hall New York, New York 10007

Dear Mayor Bloomberg: The WTC Etnergency Environmental Group congratulates you on becoming the new Mayor of New York City. We look forward to working and meeting with you to improve the air quality, health and safety of Lower Manhattan in the aftermath of the WTC attack. Our organization is comprised of downtown residents, workers, buisnesses, parents of school children in the area, and supporting organizations concerned about the environmental impact of the WTC attack.

Four months after September 11th, there are still many unresolved environmental health issues feeing our communities. Downtown residents, workers, buisness owners and students have been sick with respiratory and other health problems stemming fi'om the poor air quality, inadequate debris removal, building cleanup and preventive health education regarding ways to reduce toxic exposure.

On December 18th, the WTC Emergency Envirorunental Group held a press conference and rally at City Hall to highlight these important issues. Following the press conference and rally, many media outlets picked up on the story and have continued to publicize the ongoing health and environmental problems in Lower Manhattan. Among the elected officials who spoke and endorsed our efforts were new City Council Member Allan Gerson, outgoing City Council Member Kathryn Freed, and representatives from the offices of Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Borough President C. Virginia Fields and State Senator Martin Connor.

Therefore, we are requesting a meeting with you soon as possible, to discuss these urgent safety matters. We would appreciate it if your office would call either Maureen Silverman at 212-964-0116 or 212-678- 4700 Ext 304, or Peggy Sarlin at 212-877-7980 to schedule this meeting. We look forward to working with you in the very near future. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

WTC Emergency Envirorunental Group

CC: Dennis Walcott, Deputy Mayor for Policy Mark Shaw, Deputy Mayor for Operations

P.S. Attached please find a list of the organizations which endorsed our December 18th rally and press conference
