My comments on this compensation fund

Mr Feinberg:

Our son, , was a victim in Tower 2. He leaves behind a wife,
2 children under 3 yrs of age, his parents, brother and sister.

Our comments are outlined below:

- deductions of life insurance, SS benefits and pension. -- SHOULD NOT BE
- The 250K non-economic component -- TOO LOW
- ensuring the welfare of the children -- MUST BE DONE by making sure that a
trust is set up for the children of the victims, and part of the total
compensation should go DIRECTLY to the children so that no one can touch it
EXCEPT for the children when they become an adult.
- taking care of immediate family members who are not next of kin,
particularly parents -- MUST BE DONE.

The numbers that are being offered in this plan is like putting 2 carrots on
a stick, and when the deduction is taken into effect, the only thing
remaining is the string and the stick.

The plan has to be to remove deductions, increase the 250K non-economic
component, ensure the welfare of the children and spouses left behind to
struggle for themselves, and take care of other immediate family members who
are dealing with the pain and suffering in the loss of their child.

YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE AND TAKE IT BACK !
