            HONORING THOSE WHO ARE HELPING VICTIMS' FAMILIES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 24, 2002

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Trial Lawyers 
Care on the opening of its headquarters in my district, located at 80 
Center Street in New York City. As the city itself works to rebuild, I 
commend the thousands of volunteer lawyers who are helping victims' 
families start to put their lives back together in the aftermath of 
September 11th's senseless tragedies.
  Experienced trial lawyers from across America are generously 
providing free legal services to eligible September 11 terrorist attack 
victims who choose to make claims under the federal September 11 Victim 
Compensation Fund which Congress set up last year. Trial Lawyers Care, 
Inc. is a nonprofit corporation established for the purpose of helping 
these victims, and I applaud their very worthwhile efforts. By 
providing free legal services, 100 percent of the fund's award will go 
directly to the victims' family. This is an extraordinary offer for an 
extraordinary situation.
  Should any Member of Congress require more information about Trial 
Lawyers Care and how they may be of service to your constituents, they 
can be reached at 888-780-8637 and www.911LawHelp.org. Thank you to the 
volunteers who are helping victims' families.
