9/11 VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND

Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick:

I am touched by the outpouring of support from our country to the victims of
the tragedy of September 11th. I understand there may be some question as to
whether to include the partners and families of the gay and lesbian victims.
I am shocked that such a question should even arise. Certainly every person
who suffered or died at the hands of the terrorists deserves equal treatment,
including financial benefits to surviving partners and family members. The
hatred that hijacked those planes believes that for reason of birth, life
style, nationality or religion, certain people do not deserve to live. I
pray we do not perpetuate that divisive thinking within our own country.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Sherman Oaks, CA
