RE: Help ALL Victims Of Sept. 11

Dear Mr. Zwick:

I am writing in response to the Department's request for public comments
regarding the forthcoming regulations for implementing and administering the
"September 11 Victim Compensation Fund." I strongly urge the Department to
draft regulations that ensure compensation is available to all victims of the
attack, including the committed partners and the non-biological children of
gay and lesbian victims.

Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind
loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these bonds by treating the
families of gay and lesbian victims as you would any other.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
