To whom it may concern - please know that many families' lives have been completely changed by the tradegy on September 11th - all kinds of families - no one's pain is less than any other's, so please make aid available to all including:

1. please include among relatives eligible for compensation those who lost their life partners as well as de facto parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.

2. please follow 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."


thank you for all that you are doing to offer assistance to those so greatly in need.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Columbia, PA
