The

Settlement Facility – Dow Coring Trust (SF-DCT) has been working to

develop a procedure for processing Class 7 (Silicone Material) claim

submissions.

To facilitate processing, the Debtor's Representatives and the

Claimants' Advisory Committee have approved a special cash offer of

$3,000 for Silicone Material Claimants who requested a disease review

on their claim form, but because of the delay in processing, may choose

to accept a one-time payment offer instead of waiting for a disease

review. A disease review could take as long as 24 to 36 months. Please

note that if you are represented by an attorney, the Cash out option of

$3,000 is subject to attorney fees as outlined in the Claimant

Information Guide.

We will begin to make Expedited Release payments of $600.00 to Silicone

Material Claimants by the end of 2006. The Expedited Release payment is

not subject to attorney fees but attorneys may deduct their certain

expenses that are solely attributable to your claim as outlined in

Judge Hood's Order regarding expenses.

The SF-DCT also identified Class 7 Claimants who are ineligible to

receive a Class 7 payment based on the amount they received in the

MDL-926 Settlement or who did not satisfy the Class 7 marshaling

requirement. These Claimants will be sent a notice regarding their

ineligibility.

When processing Class 7 claims, SF-DCT will rely on documents in our

files as well as the MDL-926 claim processing data. This may require

Claimants to submit additional documentation in order to complete their

claim reviews.

Thank you for your patience in this matter as we work to develop a

process that is as fair and expeditious as possible given the limited

Class 7 fund. Please be patient as we anticipate that after checks and

letters are sent, we will experience a high volume of mail and

telephone calls. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

As a reminder, Judge Hood signed an Order in June 2006 extending all

cure deficiency deadlines to January 17, 2007. This includes cure

deficiency deadlines that have or will run up to and including January

16, 2007. You may read Judge Hood's Order extending the deadline by

clicking on "News Updates".

Darling Ilena:

We want to wish you a very Happy New Year, and to thank you for all the great work that you are doing. I want to crawl all over your website, too, because I am planning on doing something in the new year.

We went to a wedding last night, and again my big mouth got me into trouble. I was having problems with my chest wall, and of course people want to know why. I told them about the problems that I had with my breast implants. Then I told them about the litigation, and that I was fed up with the law here in Canada. As it turned out, the lady I was telling all this to was on the Board of Governors of 's university and married to a lawyer. I told him that he did not look like a lawyer; he asked me what does a lawyer look like? Then, I proceeded to tell him that I had just bought a book called What to Do with a Dead Lawyer. He asked me just what do you do with a dead lawyer? Then he offered that you could turn them into statues or lawn ornaments or have them stuffed. He was funny and he turned out to be a very sweet man. I must learn to keep my big mouth shut.

Another lady, the wife of a colleague of 's, teaches at the University of Alberta, so I told her all about the silicone problems as well. Yet another lady at our table told me that one of her young girls has to use a silicone catheter. The coincidence is that I have just been researching silicone catheters recently. This lady thanked me for telling her about silicone-related problems. It is just everywhere, and there is just no way that they will ever use anything else...unless we make them!

Honey, we wish you tons of happiness in the almost New Year.

Sending love always...........US
