To All Delegates and Members

February 11, 2003

I have attached preliminary findings of the medical health screening program conducted by Mt. Sinai for WTC respondees. It shows that a significant percentage of officers and others responding to the WTC have suffered WTC-related pulmonary symptoms, ears, nose and throat disorders and mental health symptoms.

We again urge all members who responded to the scene of the WTC or to the Staten Island Landfill to undergo a medical screening. Mt. Sinai is one program that offers the benefits of screening at no cost to our members. Members interested may phone 1-888-702-2630.

Fraternally,

Patrick J. Lynch
President
