Senate Passes Bill to Fund 9/11 September 11th Victim Compensation Fund
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill Tuesday to permanently fund the
September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which provides healthcare for
first responders to the 9/11 terror attack. First responders have been
lobbying for its passage over recent months as the current legislation
was set to expire next year. Trump is expected to sign the bill into
law.
