Sept. 11 Victim compensation fund

Kenneth L. Zwick
Office of Management Programs, Civil DIvsion
US. Dept. OF Justice

Dear Mr. Zwixk

I am wriitng in response to the Department's request for public comments
regarding the forthcoming regulations for implementing and administering the
"Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund."

I strongly urge the Department to ensure compensation for ALL victims of the
attack, including the committed partners and all non-biological children of
gay and lesbian victims.

It is unquestionable that the devastating grief and economic losses suffered
by the families of gay and lesbian victims are no less than that of other
families. Just as the terrorists drew no lines in choosing their victims,
our country must draw no lines in compensating those who suffered the most
person of losses.

I urge the Department to honor the bonds of love in families and treat all
the victims equally.

Sincerely
