Re: World Trade Center Victims Compensation Fund


Dear Mr. Zwick:

Enclosed please find suggestions concerning the
Regulations for the "Victims Compensation Fund", as well as a proposed
sample claim form. I prepared these materials with the assistance of
other aviation practitioners and experts. We have a combined experience level of over 150 years in aviation litigation representing many different perspectives. We hope this material will be helpful.

Finally, my firm represents over thirty (30) families
who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center disaster. These families
feel strongly that the Regulations should require individualized
consideration of the tragic circumstances faced by each of them.

Thank you for your consideration.

Very truly
yours,
