Dear Mr. Levi:
As you are aware, following the events of September 11,
2001, hundreds of motor vehicles were removed from the vicinity
of the World Trade Center to a location on Staten Island, New
York. The reasons for doing so were evidentiary in nature. This
included the possible recovery of human remains, securing of
personal effects, recovery, if any, of airplane parts, and to
establish or determine ownership of the vehicles.
It has come to the attention of the FBI that several
individuals and insurance companies have requested the return of
these vehicles. This letter will serve to inform the City of New
York that the FBI has now completed all of its examinations and
has no further investigative interest in these vehicles.
We also wish to inform you that in conjunction with the
United States Department of Health and Human Services, Federal
Occupational Healch Service Branch, certain tests were performed
on a number of vehicles at the Staten Island location. At your
request we have enclosed the testing results and related reports.
We encourage the City to review these reports and consult with
its own Departments of Health and Environmental Protection.
