Within last ten days I came across news that several brokerages were
giving compensation to clients who had lost money in 1999 - 2000 in
stocks these brokerages had hyped.  We were among big losers.  Papers
had to be in by March 8, 2005.  I need a copy of the communication
with instructions and the url for the site that had more information.
I tried to print the communication but apparently it did not print. My
husband suffered a massive stroke when the losses occurred and is
worse now.  I would like to recover the funds so that I can get him
nursing care.  Can you help me?

USB and Morgan Stanley were two of the brokerage houses involved.  The
funds available were a result of intervention and approved.  Don't
know the agencies involved but March 8 was deadline for parties with
losses to file.  It could have been more than ten days ago that I saw
this on internet--maybe around two weeks.  In any event, this is short
notice to make parties aware of compensation alternative.  Thank you.
