Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell honored former NYPD Detective Luis Alvarez on the Senate floor Tuesday in advance of the passage of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund that Alvarez spent his dying hours urging Congress to adopt.

Alvarez, who died June 29 from cancer linked to his work in the toxic rubble at Ground Zero, gave his NYPD badge to the Kentucky Republican just days before his death to urge McConnell to pass legislation that would help his fellow first responders.

“It was my honor to receive it,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. “It was my honor to reiterate that the Senate’s ironclad commitment to getting this done was never in doubt. I told the first responders that I wanted the Senate to address this prior to the August recess, and today we will do so.”

“It will be my honor later today to vote for the funding and ensure this fund is secure,” he continued. “I would urge my colleagues to do the same.”

The Senate is expected on Tuesday to pass the reauthorization of the Sept. 11 victims fund through 2092, which is designed to last the lifetime of 9/11 first responders and others who have since gotten sick from their exposure to Ground Zero air and debris.

The House already approved the measure 402-12 earlier this month — following impassioned testimony from Alvarez and former “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart before a sparsely attended House panel in June that put a spotlight on Congress’ inaction.

President Trump is expected to sign the bill into law.
