CFTC Chairman James E. Newsome presents Senator Robert F. Bennett, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related Agencies (on the right), with a photograph of the brass CFTC seal on display at the Commission's New York Regional Office. The CFTC's New York staff signatures on the photograph of the seal are in appreciation for the support of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related Agencies in rebuilding the CFTC's New York Office, which was destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The CFTC seal was found in the Ground Zero rubble in reasonably fine shape and is now displayed in the Main Reception area of the CFTC's relocated New York Office at 140 Broadway. (See http://www.cftc.gov/opa/opaspotlight080703.htm for more information on the Homecoming Ceremony for the CFTC's seal held at the New York Office on August 7, 2003.)
