All,

As many of you are aware, a great number of the passengers aboard Malaysian Flight 17 were bound to Australia to attend an International Aids Conference.   I understand that Abt may have as many as 10 attendees at this conference.  While in no way lessening the impact of this tragedy and in response to several inquiries I have received, I want to reassure all of you that BCD has positively confirmed that NO ABT PERSONNEL were ticketed aboard this flight.
