WASHINGTON -- Democrats from New York and New Jersey asked yesterday for an

investigation that could lead to criminal charges against former Environmental

Protection Agency Administrator Christie Whitman for breathing problems

suffered by thousands after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Whitman told the Associated Press that she and the EPA " agreed then and I

millions of tons of burned debris from the most horrific attack in our

nation's history.
