“The Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA) commends the United States Congress and President Bush for their leadership and decision to put families victimized by our national tragedy first and to ease their pain by expediting appropriate relief to them through the "September 11 Compensation Fund of 2001," created by H.R. 2926, the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act. ATLA agrees with you that extraordinary situations demand extraordinary responses. At least seven thousand families are hurting more than any of us can imagine. And, because the first priority of every American should be prompt and full justice for the thousands of families who know first-hand the unspeakable horror visited upon the world on September 11, 2001, members of ATLA will provide free legal services to any family wishing to pursue justice through the fund established by this unprecedented, humanitarian legislation. ATLA believes that 100% of the compensation from the fund should go directly to these families.”
