FRESNO STATE COLLEGIAN.CSUFRESNO.EDU SERVING CAMPUS SINCE 1922 Commencement ceremony NY reps: ticket minimum upsets students Give bin Laden cash to 9/11 victims MOM & DAD UNCLE By Associated Press

COUSIN GRANDMA GRANDPA COUSIN NEW YORK (AP) — Two congressmen from New SISTER York City say that up to $50 million in Osama bin Laden bounty money should go to first responders, survivors BROTHER and families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Rewards for Justice Program established a bounty of $25 million in 2001 to help bring bin Laden to justice. In 2004, Congress passed legislation provid- ing the secretary of state up to $50 million to award for information leading to the capture of bin Laden. Bin Laden was killed last week. It’s unclear whether Illustration by Michael Uribes / The Collegian anyone is eligible for the bounty. U.S. Reps.
