Summary:

Analyzes legal issues raised by LTV Steel Corporation's termination of retired employees life and health benefits provided under collective bargaining agreements immediately upon filing for bankruptcy. Examines the Bankruptcy Code, its legislative history, and case law to determine whether Congress intended to mandate that a reorganizing corporation cut off such payments or continue paying such obligations until it had obtained court approval to cease payments.
