Washington, DC - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today released the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency's announcement to launch its final 9/11 contamination clean-up program next month.

"The EPA has now acknowledged that additional testing is necessary, but the program announced today is totally inadequate. I plan to use my chairmanship of the Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health to continue to press for a more expansive test and clean program in the new Congress."
