Subject: ATTN: Mr. K. L. Zwick
Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs
U.S. Department of Justice
Dear Mr. Zwick:
I am writing to you to ask that you include among relatives eligible
for compensation those who lost their life partners as well as de facto
parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.
You would be following the wonderful 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."
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Washington, DC
