compensation

Mr. Zwick,

After reading all of the materials regarding the compensation
to
families of the victims of the WTC attack, including the Air
Transportation
Safety and System Stabilization Act, I find the Dept. of Justice?s
interim final
regulations highly inadequate, and showing practically nothing of the
intent
that Congress had laid out. I feel that the method of consideration
does not adequately propose compensation that is just for the horrible
way in which those who lost their lives.

My brother, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , was a victim of the attack and
losing him
has left a hole in this family that really can?t be replaced. And
although he
didn?t leave any economic dependents, because he was single with no
children, the emotional and mental anguish left us, his siblings and
father,
was devastating. And with these interim regulations others, especially
those
widows with children, are left high and dry by the DOJ because of their
under valuation of economic and non economic rewards. Others in
comparable cases have received so much more. If this government can find

15 billion dollars to bail out the airlines, surely they can find enough
to justly
compensate the families of that horrific day.

Please, we implore the DOJ to do what is right and fair
concerning
this. Don?t let this drag out into long and arduous court battles that
would put
these families through so much more anguish. Let the intent of Congress
come to fruition for the families of the victims, who are all American
heroes.
