Marsh Begins Process of Tracking Its WTC Employees

Marsh, the world's largest insurance brokerage, is struggling to ascertain the number of surviving employees based at the World Trade Center following yesterday's devastating attack by terrorists. A spokesperson for Marsh & McClennan Co. could confirm only that approximately 1,700 employees were housed in both One and Two World Trade Center, the twin towers leveled by the apparent suicide plane crashes. She indicated that the actual number of employees accounted for is not yet available. Alfred J. Modugno, vice president of Marsh, confirmed that corporate president Jeff Greenberg is "alive and well" in his uptown headquarters on the Avenue of the Americas. Yesterday Marsh set up a hot line for its employees to call "on an emergency basis." The spokesperson said that there are "numerous phones" and that calls had been coming in on a 24-hour basis.
