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

Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom
left behind loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these bonds
by treating the families of gay and lesbian victims as you
would any other.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Philadelphia, PA
