PRESS RELEASE: ASBESTOS DISEASE AWARENESS ORGANIZATION CALLS ASBESTOS TRUST FUND LEGISLATION "CORPORATE BAILOUT"

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO),
an organization dedicated to serving as the voice of
asbestos victims, announced its extreme disappointment regarding the passage S. 852, the asbestos trust fund bill sponsored by Senator Arlen Specter. "We are
sorely disappointed that S. 852 has been voted out of
the Judiciary Committee. It is clear that the victims
and their families were not considered stakeholders,"
according to ADAO President Alan Reinstein. "This
legislation does not adequately protect the rights of
present and future victims and we hope the Senate
does the right thing by voting 'no' on this corporate
bailout bill."
