§5504 Designation of State Department-family liaison and toll-free family communications system

Summary

Not later than 60 days after November 16, 1990, the Secretary of State must write rules so that when an aviation disaster abroad directly involves U.S. citizens, the State Department will, if possible, pick one person and an alternate to act as the family’s main contact (liaison). The Secretary must also make the Department’s toll-free phone system include one number set aside only for the families of citizens who are found to be directly involved in such a disaster.
