Kenneth I. Zwick
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick,

This is a very hard letter to write in the first place so I will make it
easier on myself.

I lost my husband.

My daughter lost her dad.

My inlaws lost their son.

My brother in law and sister in law lost their brother.

My sister and brother in law lost their brother.

My nephews lost their uncle.

Each person who perished or got disabled effected the lives of so many.

Charities paid for three months of expenses so in other words basically
deferred the payment of a mortgage, rent etc. by three months. This is
societies generosity. This generosity is so greatly appreciated. It is a
greatfull gift that all of us wish we never had to accept BUT we lost our
loved ones forever and forever is not three or six months. We have to raise
our children forever.

The expenses of a very lavish lifestyle granted a much higher charitible
benefit and this should not be repeated by OUR government. EACH victim is
EQUAL and should be compensated equal.

Consider a salary of $300,000 earned by a 30 year old versus a $ 60,000
salary earned by a 60 year old. These payouts using present value of salary
and expected life years would value these peoples lives so unfairly.

Nobody considered the most important facts****************

WHO TOLD THE PEOPLE TO STAY IN WORK??????? ESPECIALLY WHEN SMOKE WAS FILLING
THE AIR IN 2WTC.

WHY DID NO AUTHORITY GET THEM OUT OR AT LEAST TRY TO.

This is what a lawsuit is about and the government is trying to settle these
issues as well as hundreds of others without allowing us to know what damages
we are getting until its too late.

The government is settling these issues on behalf of the airlines, building
owners etc so these funds in fact will be reimbursed to the government by the
parties at fault. AMERICANS are not losing the tax dollars they think they
are losing if the parties at fault pay the government accordingly.

HOPEFULLY the government will do the right thing. I have been a government
worker for 21 years. My husband was a government worker for 21 years. My
parents retired as government workers.

If pensions offset the compensation then all firefighters and police will end
up with no compensatory damages because their pensions alone will offset the
entire amount.

I hope you consider what I have stated.

Thank you for reading this.

Heartfelt sympathies for all my new friends wo lost their loved ones.
