Monday, December 03, 2001 12:50 PM Victims Compensation to Include Life Partners Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20530 Via Email victimcomp.comments@usdoj.gov Dear Director Zwick: I am writing to ask for your support for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's position regarding disbursement of monies from the September 11 Fund. I agree with the statements they made in their letter of November 21, 2001 emphasizing the need for the Department of Justice to "include among relatives eligible for compensation those who lost their life partners or de facto parents or children, regardless of sexual orientation and marital status." The horrific loss of loved ones to a random terrorist act should not be compounded by our own government denying survivors whatever benefits may be available simply because we fail to have laws to protect all of our citizens. Thank you for listening, and for acting honorably in support of all citizens. Sincerely, Individual Comment Denver, CO September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-03 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
