            <text>Re: 9/11 Victim Compensation 

To Whom It may Concern: 

I want to express my concern about the way the federal government and the various charities
distribute
the funds.  I want to bring one case to your attention. 

The live-in girlfriend of 6 months, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp
, of &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp employee and victim, Mr.
&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp
, obtained an incredible amount of compensation from &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp &amp;nbsp and various charities in excess of 100,000.  In addition, her exorbitant rent of almost 2,000 per month is being paid by a charity since September 2001.  Her parents, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp
 and &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp
, currently residing in&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp
, North Carolina, helped and supported her action in obtaining that money. 

I oppose this kind of distribution because the donated money should only go to family members and children of 9/11 victims.  While many actual victims did not receive proper compensation, the above surely demonstrates that there is more investigation warranted before distributing any funds to so called "9/11 Victims".
