Wednesday, December 05, 2001 7:10 PM Sept.11th Fund Comment TO: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs U.S. Dept. of Justice Dear Mr. Zwick, I heard that you are accepting comments about the use of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. I would like to say that I believe your fund should follow guidelines similar to the ones established by Gov. Pataki of NY. The NY guidelines allow compensation to all those who were "sharing living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of family" regardless of marital status or sexual orientation. My home state of Virginia is refusing to allow any money to go to the gay and lesbian life partners of victims in the Pentagon crash, and I know that is causing great hardship (on top of horrible grief) to a number of g&l families left behind. One woman is losing her house because she can't make the payments. It's so unfair. People build lives together and do all they can to support each other, and then not only are their lives torn apart by terrorists but our own government refuses help. That's just one of the reasons I voted against the current state administration in the election four weeks ago. Please be fair. Recognize ALL the families, not just the ones and want to recognize, and take care of ALL the Americans bereaved and financially deprived by the attacks. Thanks.
