Cabinet Remarks
September 14, 2001
Draft #6
I have discussed with members of the Cabinet our government's
response to Tuesday's terrorist attack. They have informed me of the
measures that our departments have taken and will take to continue
operating effectively, to aid the relief efforts, and to comfort the survivors
of the attacks and their families.
I have proclaimed a National Emergency and authorized the Secretary
of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation to call Ready Reserve
units of the Armed Forces and Coast Guard to active duty.
Health and Human Services Secretary Thompson has released $2.5
million in immediate emergency funding for the city of New York, to pay
for temporary food, shelter, clothing, and childcare. Nearly 700 medical
and emergency personnel have been dispatched.
The Centers for Disease Control are providing 84,000 bags of
intravenous fluid to the public health department of New York City.
The Federal Trade Commission is monitoring gasoline price gouging
and is ready to take prompt action whenever it is reported. Energy
Secretary Abraham established a hotline for people who encounter
unjustified prices.
Housing Secretary Martinez has announced a moratorium on
foreclosures for borrowers with FHA loans in New York, New Jersey,
and Connecticut. This action ensures that families affected by the
tragedy will not risk losing their homes or have their credit ruined
because of problems meeting the monthly mortgage. Secretary Martinez
has also called upon America's banking industry to waive late charges
for private mortgageholders in the area.
1
And Attorney General Ashcroft is streamlining the procedures for
approving benefits to the families of law enforcement officers, firemen,
emergency response squad members, and ambulance crew members
killed in the line of duty.
EPA Administrator Whitman has made available 10,000 specially
equipped protective suits to protect relief and recovery workers.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is to be commended for
its tremendous effort in coordinating the ongoing response to these
disasters.
I am very proud of how every member of this Cabinet has risen to the
challenge. Every agency of the government is doing its part. And I thank
them all.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
September 14, 2001
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
Pursuant to section 201 of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1621), I hereby report that I have exercised my authority
to declare a national emergency by reason of the terrorist
attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the
Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further
attacks on the United States. A copy of my proclamation is
attached.
Further, I have authorized, pursuant to section 12302 of
title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of Defense, and the
Secretary of Transportation with respect to the Coast Guard when
it is not operating as a service within the Department of the
Navy, to order to active duty units and individual members not
assigned to units of the Ready Reserve to perform such missions
the Secretary of Defense may determine necessary. The deployment
of United States forces to conduct operational missions in
connection with the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks
necessitates this action. A copy of my Executive Order
implementing this action is attached.

Here's info that came out from HHS yesterday we might be able to update if you are interested
Office of Emergency Preparedness has deployed over 300 medical personnel from
disaster readiness teams to assist health providers in the New York and Washington, D.C., areas.
OEP has deployed about 270 mortuary services personnel to assist in retrieval, identification and
preparation of those killed.
The U.S. Commissioned Corps was put on readiness alert, making some 5,700 Corps
personnel available for deployment. In particular, about 800 Corps officers who make up the
Commissioned Corps Readiness Force are on stand-by for immediate deployment if needed to
meet local needs for specific medical skills.
Medical Supplies
Secretary Thompson authorized the first emergency use of the National Pharmaceutical
Stockpile, providing for delivery of supplies to support medical personnel caring for victims.
The shipment arrived in New York at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, within seven hours of deployment.
Under the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile program, CDC's action on Tuesday released one of
the eight "12-Hour Push Packages" that are maintained in pre-packaged, pre-positioned caches in
secure storage facilities around the country. The packages are designed to be deliverable to any
area of the continental United States within 12 hours of deployment, with substantial supplies to
address a wide variety of potential needs. "Push Packages" contain pharmaceuticals, intravenous
supplies, airway supplies, emergency medication, bandages and dressings, and other materials to
cover a spectrum of medical needs. Each "package" involves several truckloads of materials and
is intended for use in responding to an emergency involving mass casualties.
CDC is providing 84,000 bags of intravenous fluid and other intravenous supplies, as
well as 350 portable ventilators and 250 stationary ventilators. The IV and other materials are
being provided in addition to the "Push Packages" to respond to the particular expected needs in
New York.
CDC worked with tetanus vaccine manufacturers and the public health departments
of New York and Washington, D.C., and confirmed that adequate supplies of
tetanus vaccine are available.
