Project Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
(1) Over 410,000 people were exposed to the site of the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center
(WTC) in New York City, including 50,000 workers from across
the Nation who traveled to the site to lend their support.
(2) Of these over 410,000 people, 91,000 were rescue and
recovery workers.
(3) Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was one of the
major health effects for individuals who responded to the WTC
attacks.
(4) Nineteen percent of adult enrollees (about 71,000
people) in the WTC Health Registry report new PTSD symptoms, 4
times the rate typically seen in adults in the United States.
(5) Of the more than 10,000 rescue and recovery workers
monitored for a study at the Mount Sinai WTC Consortium over a
five-year period from 2002 to 2007, 11% met criteria for
probable PTSD, 8.8% had probable depression, 5.0% had probable
panic disorder, and 62% had substantial stress reaction.
(6) According to the Mount Sinai study, the rate of PTSD
among responders to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks
at the WTC is significantly greater than in the general
population and is on par with the rate experienced by veterans
of the war in Afghanistan. For example, 15.5% of firefighters
report probable post-9/11 PTSD and firefighters who worked at
Ground Zero lost an average of 12 years of lung function.
(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to create a new
federally sponsored, authorized, and funded project that will
coordinate at a national level the collection of video and audio
recordings of personal histories and testimonials of emergency
responders and recovery and cleanup workers who responded to the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that will build upon and
complement previous and ongoing documentary work on this subject, and
to assist and encourage local efforts to preserve the memories of such
individuals so that Americans of all current and future generations may
hear from them directly and better appreciate the sacrifices they made.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROJECT AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TO COLLECT
VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDINGS OF HISTORIES OF 9/11 FIRST
RESPONDERS.

(a) Establishment of Project.--Within the limits of available

(1) to survey, during the initial phase of the project,
collections of audio and video recordings of the reminiscences
of 9/11 first responders that are housed in archives,
libraries, museums, and other educational institutions, as well
as ongoing documentary work, in order to augment and complement
these endeavors and avoid duplication of effort;
(2) to solicit, reproduce, and collect--
(A) video and audio recordings of personal
histories and testimonials of 9/11 first responders;
and
(B) visual and written materials (such as letters,
diaries, photographs, and ephemera) relevant to the
personal histories of individuals;
(3) to create a collection of the recordings and other
materials obtained, and to catalog and index the collection in
a manner the Librarian considers appropriate; and

as the Librarian consider appropriate.

carry out the activities described in subsection (a) through agreements

entities, and may otherwise consult with interested persons (within the
limits of available resources) and develop appropriate guidelines and
arrangements for soliciting, acquiring, and making available recordings
under the project under this Act.
(c) Services of Experts and Consultants; Acceptance of Volunteer
Services; Advance Payments.--In carrying out activities described in
subsection (a)(1), the Librarian may--
(1) procure temporary and intermittent services under
section 3109 of title 5, United States Code;
(2) accept and utilize the services of volunteers and other
uncompensated personnel and reimburse them for travel expenses,
including per diem, as authorized under section 5703 of title
5, United States Code; and
(3) make advances of money and payments in advance in
accordance with section 3324 of title 31, United States Code.
(d) Timing.--As soon as practicable after the enactment of this
Act, the Librarian shall begin collecting video and audio recordings
and other materials under subsection (a), and shall attempt to collect
the first such recordings from the oldest individuals involved.
(e) Definition.--In this Act, the term ''9/11 first responders''
means emergency responders and recovery and cleanup workers who

in New York City, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon
