Sunday, December 09, 2001 1:38 PM Victim's Compensation Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs, Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Dear Mr. Zwick: I am writing in response to the Justice Department's request for comments regarding the upcoming regulations for implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund." I encourage the Department to include in these regulations assurances that compensation will be available to all victims of the attack, including those gay and lesbian partners in committed relationships and the non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims. It is unquestionable that the devastating grief and economic losses suffered by all the victims of the September 11 terrorist attack was traumatic. The families of gay and lesbian victims suffered no less than other families from this national tragedy. At this time of national tragedy, and also at a time when the nation seems to be uniting as in no other time, it is important that the Justice Department take the appropriate action, as its name implies, to perform an act of "justice" for all. All victims, including families of gay and lesbians, should be justly compensated. Sincerely, Individual Comment Montgomery, Alabama September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-09 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
