Kennedy Jr. to address World Trade Center Health Program staffing cuts, reassignments, halted contracts, and administrative delays via official letters and press releases (documents dated Aug 6, 2025 and Mar 23, 2026).

Gillibrand directly fulfilled the oversight promise by joining Senator Schumer in a formal letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demanding action on World Trade Center Health Program staffing cuts, reassignments, shortages, and administrative delays. Because the promised action was to press HHS rather than secure a final administrative remedy, the documented letter and official Senate announcement satisfy the commitment during her current Senate term.
