EL PASO, TEXAS

Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, an
investigation was initiated on November 5, 2001 in response to a
worker petition filed on behalf of workers at Montgomery Wards, El
Paso, Texas. The workers were engaged in retail sales and did not
produce an article.
The company has gone out of business and the Department of
Labor has been unable to locate company officials or to obtain
information necessary to reach a determination on worker
eligibility. Consequently, further investigation in this case would
serve no purpose, and the investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 7th day of October 2002.
