September 11th Vicitims Compensation Fund


To our elected officials:

We support the position of Governor Pataki that charitable contributions should NOT decrease the amounts awarded to families of victims of September 11th, many of whom are friends and neighbors of ours in this Manhasset, New York community. We also support the position that (i) appropriate compensation be awarded to our friends and neighbors and all other families of the victims of September 11th for the future wages lost by the victims so as to support those families economically and (ii) appropriate compensation be awarded for the extraordinary pain and suffering that these families have and will continue to endure over many, many years.

Personally, I see September 11th widows and their children everytime I move about my community - at school, at church and stores throughout town. It is heartbreaking to see these young children without fathers, to know their pain and that they cry themselves to sleep at night. We have an obligation to ensure that these families receive adequate financial compensation to accurately reflect the horror that they have suffered.
