September 11 Victim Compensation Fund

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 strongly urge the Department to draft regulations that ensure compensation
is available to all victims of the attack, including the committed partners
and the non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims.

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
North Canton, OH
