           EXTEND THE SEPTEMBER 11TH VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND

  (Mr. ZELDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Speaker, during this National Police Week, I 
encourage all my colleagues to cosponsor Never Forget the Heroes Act, 
H.R. 1327, introduced by Congress Members Maloney, King, and Nadler, 
which would fully fund and extend the Victim Compensation Fund 
authorization through 2090.
  There are currently 279 cosponsors, but we need more, and we need 
action on this important legislation.
  This should not be a partisan issue. It is not a partisan issue. This 
needs to be an American issue.
  September 11th first responders came from at least 433 out of 435 
congressional districts. We lost thousands of Americans on 9/11. We 
have lost more Americans since 9/11 due to toxic exposure than we did 
on 9/11 itself.
  Any colleagues out there who haven't cosponsored yet, I encourage you 
to look at H.R. 1327.
  Chairman Nadler has scheduled it for a hearing on July 11. Please do 
what you can to get this passed and signed into law.
