Sixty-nine claims for compensation were filed in 1981; of $120,859 requested, $39,452.80 was awarded. Seventeen claims were denied, 1 was withdrawn, and 24 are pending. The appendix lists claimants for 1981 and includes the name of the victim and claimant, a description of each case, and the decision on the claim.
