SPECIAL BUS FROM NEW YORK CITY TO WASHINGTON PLANNED

        Many people in the New York Metropolitan area have expressed interest in
joining us at the White House Vigil on Monday, January 11th, the third
anniversary of Lori's wrongful life sentence, and we are investigating the
possibility of a hiring a bus to provide low-cost round-trip transportation
from New York City.  A bus leaving at 7:00 a.m. is being considered with the
intention of returning to New York City Monday evening.  This will give
attendees an opportunity after the vigil to meet with the chief legislative
aides of their senators and congressional representatives to discuss Lori's
case.

        Let us know by Tuesday, January 5th (THE LATEST) if you plan to take
the bus.  The round-trip cost should be $20 to $30.
