Sept 11 Victim Compensation Fund

To: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director, Office of Management Programs, US DOJ

I am responding to the call for public comment on the eligibility requirements for persons accessing the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. I would ask that you follow Gov. Pataki's lead and include "on a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need" or similar language.

It is very important for all those affected personally by the tragedy of September 11th be allowed to access victim compensation, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
