Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:34 AM Showing Blind Compassion Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs U.S. Department of Justice December 05, 2001 Dear Mr. Zwick: It would be pointless and almost impossible to name the various groups of people who have been affected by the tragedy of 11 September. It is fair to say that this event had and will continue to have an effect on people for years to come. The terrorists were blind to the diversity among the people in the World Trade towers. They struck without regard to anything. The response of the world community and the American people has been without regard as well. I know of many of my friends who have given sacrificially to this cause. As an American citizen and a compassionate human being, I urge you to be equally as blind in the administration of this fund. ANYONE who was directly affected should be at liberty to apply for compensation, including those who lost their life partners as well as de facto parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or marital status. I ask that you 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." Please show blind compassion. Thank you for your time.
