Wednesday, November 28, 2001 11:34 PM compensation fund comments November 28, 2001 Dear Director Zwick: I would like to ask that rules developed by the Department of Justice regarding the victims' compensation fund include gay/lesbian life partners and children of those partners. In many cases, long-term committed partners are not able to jointly adopt children they are raising, and so a child may be, from a legal standpoint, considered a stranger to the parent they have lost. And of course, gay and lesbian couples are not recognized by federal law in most cases. Thank you for your consideration of these issues. Sincerely, Individual Comment Madison, WI September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-28 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
