Airline plans under the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act.

On October 29, 1997, Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater and National Transportation Safety Board Chairman James Hall issued to Vice President Gore and the Congress the Final Report of the Task Force on Assistance to Families of Aviation Disasters. This report contains 61 recommendations—nearly all of them unanimous—which will help improve the treatment received by survivors and family members of the victims of aviation disasters. I urge you to carefully review this report, a copy of which is enclosed, and to implement the recommendations directed to air carriers.
