September 11 Victims Relief Fund


December 19, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

I write in support of equal access to benefits under the September 11
Victims Relief Fund for all victims, regardless of sexual orientation or
marital status.

As you consider rules for administering the relief fund, I ask that you
apply basic international human rights standards, and the general principle
of equality, by including among relatives eligible for compensation those
who lost their life partners, as well as de facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Silver Spring, MD
