Government Efficiency canceled $ 275,000 contract for 9/11 -related cancer research.

Contract paid for data processing to compare cancer incidence rates among firefighters exposed to the World Trade Center toxins with firefighters who were not exposed in other cities.

"This will hinder our efforts to provide treatment coverage for new conditions," FDNY commissioner says.
