Additional Comments
At today's Family Meeting held in Ridgewood, NJ with Special Master Kenneth
Feinberg, it was stated that the US DOJ can and will be a participant in the
litigation against the airlines (the $6B insurance maximum) to compensate it
for the money paid out of this fund. This right is clearly stated in the
statute regarding the "right of subrogation with respect to any claim paid
under this title".
The press has not clearly stated this and the American people think the
money coming from this fund will be from taxpayer dollars! Only amounts
greater than $6B will be from taxpayer dollars and all calculations so far
have the total much less. The American people have a right to know this
fact. The Final Rules should state this clearly.
