Frank Pallone: “But what has happened to them, and I think a lot of people do not realize this, is that the nonprofits, I guess…”

On the recordDecember 12, 2001
But what has happened to them, and I think a lot of people do not realize this, is that the nonprofits, I guess primarily the Red Cross, basically provided assistance for the victims' families for a 3-month period. That ended essentially December 1. So a lot of people think that the families of these victims are continuing to be helped by nonprofits, and in fact, that is not true. Some of them are in a position where they have a little money, but a lot of them do not.
