WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal probe concluded that a government program to monitor the health of federal employees at the World Trade Center disaster site in New York ``accomplished little'' even though city and state programs screened more than 30,000 people.
A report by the Government Accountability Office found that the health-screening program conducted only about 400 exams, a small fraction of the thousands of federal employees who worked on the hazardous debris pile in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
