Victim's Compensation Fund Comment

Dec. 5, 2001


Mr. Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice
Washington, DC




Dear Mr. Zwick:


It is imperative that the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund" include
the same levels and access to compensation for all surviving families of
those killed, INCLUDING the committed partners and non-biological children
of gay and lesbian victims, doing less than that would be an ultimate
hypocrisy.

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.

Thank you.


Respectfully,

Individual Comment
