To: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick:

I am writing in response to the Department's request for public comments regarding the
forthcoming regulations for implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim
Compensation Fund." I whole heartedly urge the Department to draft regulations
ensuring compensation is made available to ALL victims of the attack, including gay and
lesbian partners and all of their dependent children.

Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind loved ones.
I urge the Department to honor these bonds by treating the families of gay and lesbian
victims as you would any other.

Sincerely;
Individual Comment
Wimberley, Texas
