WTC compensation

January 20, 2002
To Our Elected Officials:

In the immediate aftermath of the tragic attack of The United States, on
September 11, Congress enacted the Victims" Compensation Fund of 2001 P.L.
107-42, to compensate the relatives of the victims of that brutal attack. As
you know, this Fund was enacted as part of a comprehensive package which
bailed out the airline industry and imposed restrictions of the rights of
the victims" relatives to recover damages from court. We implore upon you,
as our elected officials, to demand changes to the interim rules issued by
Kenneth Feinberg, the Special Master.

Specifically, we request that you act on our behalf and demand the following
changes to the interim rules:

1. Remove arbitrary income limits.
2. Increase non-economic rewards.


Sincerely,

Individual Comment
