Sunday, January 20, 2002 1:58 AM COMMENTS GENTLEMAN, I KNOW THE INTENT OF THE FUND IS A NOBLE ONE, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT A PRICE ON THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF A LOVED ONE. THERE ARE AREA OF THE FUND THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED OR ADJUSTED. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR HAVIMG THE FORESIGHT OF HAVING LIFE INSURANCE, OR PLANNING FOR THIER RETIREMENT. THESE ARE INVESTMENTS THAT WERE PAID INTO BY THE DECEASED OR THIER FAMILY MEMBERS. I THINK THAT INSURANCE CLAIMS, PENSIONS, AND 401K PLANS SHOULD NOT DEDUCTED. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THESE ISSUES WOULD NOT BE IN QUESTION. I AGREE THAT THE FUND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO UPGRADE ANYONES LIFE STYLE. TEHRE MUST BE BETTER OR FAIRER COMPENSATION FOR A SINGLE PERSON WITH NO DEPENDENTS. UNDER THE CURRENT PLAN MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING. SHE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR PLANNING FOR HER FUTURE OR OBTAINING LIFE INSURANCE.. THE PAIN AND SUFFEREING SHOULD BE A GIVEN, AND SHOULD BE PAID WITH OUT QUESTION OR DEDUCTIONS. THERE ARE ALSO SURROGAT ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ALSO. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIVORCED OR SEPERATED PARENTS INVOLVED HERE. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A WHOLE NEW SET OF PROBLEMS THAT WILL ARISE. THE PROBAFT ISSUE SHOULD HAVE SOME LATITUDE. THE INSURANACE COMPANIES IN OUR CASE ARE GIVINGS US ENOUGH PROBLEMS. HER EMPLOYEE BASED INSURNCE POLICY HOLDERS HAVED CLAIMED THAT ALL BENEFICIARY PAPER WORK WAS DESTROYED. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT LEAVE A WILL NOT WE MUST FIGHT IN COURT, TO CARRY OUT WHAT WE KNOW WERE HER WISHES. THE FUND SHOULD TAKE THESE ISSUES INTO CONSIDERATION. ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY FOR SOME OF US, ITS ABOUT WHAT IS FAIR. I KNOW THAT CONGRESS, THE DEPT. OF JUSTICE AND MR. FEINGOLD HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TAS AHEAD, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL WHAT IS RIGHT AND WILL SEE THAT THE RIGHT THING IS DONE. SUMMARY: 1) INSURANCE, PENSIONS AND 401K PLANS SHOULD NOT BE DEDUCTED. 2) COMPENSATION FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING SHOULD BE A GIVEN WITHOUT DEDUCTION OR PENALTIES. 3) STEP-PARENTS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED 4) SURROGATE ISSUES SHOULD BEDECIDED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, WITHOUT GOING TO SURRUGATE COURT. 5) CALCULATIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION.
