Fairness in Funds Distribution

Please ensure that the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund is
distributed in the fairest way possible. To that end, I have two major
concerns.

Gay and Lesbian families should be treated the same as married couples in
that domestic partners and children of those unions should receive
compensation for the lost of their loved one.

Also while I understand that funds will be distributed based on lost
earnings, care must be taken so that all families receive at least a minimum
level. The family of a corporate CEO and the family of a janitor will both
be struggling with unforeseen expenses and this fund should make sure that
they are able to buffer themselves from unpredictable crisis.

Thank you for considering my comments.
