December 10, 2001 Via Facsimile to: (301) 519-5956 Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs U.S. Department Of Justice Civil Division Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington,DC 20530 Re: Regulations Governing The September 11 Victims Compensation Fund Dear Mr. Zwick: This relates to the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund (the "Fund") established upon the enactment of the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (Public Law 107-42), and the regulations to be promulgated to govern the administration of the Fund. The New York State Bar Association considers it very important that the Department of Justice obtain as much input as possible on the development of substantive and procedural rules to govern the administration of the Fund. The extraordinary circumstances surrounding the creation and administration of the Fund nevertheless do not lend themselves easily to conventional comment letters. Therefore, I am writing to offer the assistance of The Association and its members to work directly with the Department and the Special Master. It is the belief of many of our members who have expertise in the areas of personal injury litigation and compensation programs that the best way for us to assist the Department in this enormous task is to provide people with a wide range of relevant experience in order to help resolve issues and problems. In addition to the fact that the terrorist acts of September 11 have had a direct impact on the New York State Bar Association, it is important for me to point out that the Association is the larest voluntary state bar association in the country, with nearly 70,000 members engaged in every substantive and procedural area of law. Their expertise providers a formidable source of knowledge and information. I hope that there is an appropriate mechanism, such as paticipation in a working group, for us to assist in the development and operation of the Fund.
