SUBJECT: Lower Manhattan Clean Up
As per our discussion at yesterday’s executive staff meeting
pertaining to DEP’s taking responsibility for the Lower Manhattan clean
up activities, I would like your assistance in ensuring a full and
immediate orderly transition.
I would like you to prepare an immediate memorandum to all
Task Force members thanking them for their great work in this project.
Additionally, would you please ensure that all open issues are directed to
me without delay so we may ensure that all projects are funded by FEMA
through DEP.
Your immediate attention to this request is appreciated.
