SCU (SOUNDBITE) (English) BESSETTE FAMILY SPOKESMAN GRANT STINCHFIELD SAYING "Dr. and Mrs. Richard Freeman and William J. Bessette would like to thank the many individuals and government agencies that have assisted in the exhaustive search for their beloved family members. Each of these three young people -- Lauren Bessette, Caroline Bessette Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Junior -- was the embodiment of love, accomplishment and passion for life. John and Carolyn were true soulmates and we hope to honour them in death in the simple manner in which they chose to live their lives. We take solace in the thought that together they will comfort Lauren for eternity. We are especially appreciative of the privacy and support provided us by our family, friends and community. Nothing in life is preparation for losing a child." 2.04 OFF MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES (JULY 19, 1999)(NBC - NO ACCESS USA/CNN) 6. TV DIVER JUMPS OFF SHIP 2.16 7.

At 9:40 p.m. and 24 seconds, we have an altitude readout of 1900 feet. At 9:40 p.m. and 29 seconds, we have an altitude readout of 1600 feet, and at 9: 40 p.m. and 34 seconds, we have an altitude readout of 1100 feet. And your own calculation can show those would reflect an approximate descent of some 4-thousand-700 feet per minute." 3.08 MENEMSHA VILLAGE, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS 9.

SCU (SOUNDBITE) (English) NTSB CHAIRMAN JIM HALL SAYING "We're at the point where I think we have have a number of assets that were on scene up until 9.30 last night in our search-and-rescue operation and it's our feeling that at this point we need to use those to try to bring some resolution to the case. Those kinds of decisions are going to be made after we develop some plans and really get some preliminary first efforts at searching. But I think it's premature to even think about when we would stop doing this." 4.03 ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES (REUTERS) 11.
