January 2, 2002 Special Master Kenneth R. Feinberg September 11th Victim Compensation Fund U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Feinberg: I am writing on behalf of the surviving families of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Please ensure fair treatment of all families, including children and significant others of low-income workers and gay and lesbian victims. It seems particularly unfair to me that the families of low-income workers might receive far less in compensation than families of those who earned salaries in the six figures. Please ensure that a high minimum compensation level is set to lessen the disparities between the poor and the rich. The taxpayer money should not go primarily to those who were already well off financially in the first place. Please also ensure that gays and lesbians are recognized as grieving survivors as well, with full rights to equal compensation for this tragic loss of life. The Red Cross and the State of New York have already stated they will not discriminate against gay and lesbian families. The Department of Justice should be equally just. Thank you for your careful consideration of these matters. I look forward to hearing from you.
