Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Saturday, December 15, 2001 2:55 PM domestic partner compensation for 9/11 attacks Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs U.S. Department of Justice Please include those who lost their life partners as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01 in the group eligible for relief compensation. Those who lost life partners in addition to de facto parents or children among relatives must be made eligible for compensation without regard to sexual orientation or marital status. I recommend that the U.S. Government follow the the example already set by New York Governor Pataki in granting compensation benefits "on a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need." I am thoroughly disgusted that our government and George W. Bush states that America is united when it shows no compassion or responsibility to those domestic partners who loved ones died innocently. It's bad enough to lose someone you love and then have to fight to get what you deserve while trying to keep your house and finances since one breadwinner is gone. Is discrimination American these days? How are these people different? Thank you.
