The Co-Executors now inform that lb)ecause the need for the Program has grown increasingly urgent, and with the support of claimants' counsel and the USVI Attorney General - and because the remaining impediments have been resolved and the interested parties have consented to the Protocol.' they and the Attorney General have reached an agreement in which the latter will promptly lift previously imposed liens to pay amounts owed for the Program and to begin funding the Program's active operations, including payment of compensation determinations to eligible claimants.
