On Monday, I met with FBI Director Louis Freeh to inform him that this accident might -- and again I emphasize the word might -- be the result of a deliberate act.

We will substantiate what occurred on the flight leg previous to the accident flight.

No one wants to get to the bottom of this mystery quicker than those investigating this accident -- both here and in Egypt,

This agreement is a huge step in our efforts to provide some comfort to the families of airplane accident victims and to properly reimburse local communities for their efforts.
