Sunday, January 06, 2002 7:41 PM COMMENT Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Jan 6, 2001 Dear Mr. Zwick: My parents perished on September 11th. They were not American citizens and were visitors in US. As victims' family member, I have two suggestions on the interim regulation of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001. First, I think that the compensation for non-economic damages, should be raised from $250,000 to the similar level of the pain and suffering compensation for casualty in other plane crashes in recent years. In that case, most of the victims's families will choose this program rather than sue in the court. Second, this interim regulation did not specify how to calculate the economic loss of those legal foreign victims. Given the living standard , as well as the income and benefit, is quite different in foreign countries from that in the US, it is not fair to compute the economic compensation based on the exact amount of their income. In my opinion it will be more reasonable to analyze the percentile of their income in their own country and calculate the economic loss in the light of the income of the similar percentile in US.
