Fund support for ALL FAMILIES

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 Department's request for public comments
regarding the forthcoming
regulations for implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim
Compensation Fund."

I strongly urge the Department to draft regulations that ensure
compensation is available to all
victims of the attack, including the committed partners and the
non-biological children of gay and
lesbian victims.

Every family impacted by the events of September 11th deserves all the
support we can give,
including financial support, especially when childeren are involved.
Please honor these bonds
by treating the families of gay and lesbian victims as you would any
other.

Sincerely,


Individual Comment
