December 5, 2001 Mr. Kenneth L. Zwick Director - Office of Management Programs U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC VIA FACSIMILE: (301) 519-5956 Dear Mr. Zwick: In response to the Justice Department's request for comments regarding the upcoming implementation regulations for the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund," I would strongly urge the Justice Department to ensure these regulations are drafted to make the proposed compensation available to ALL VICTIMS of this terrible tragedy. For the sake of fairness, and, indeed, Justice, this should include the committed partners and non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims of the September 11th tragedy. As you can imagine, the grief and suffering of the families of gay and lesbian victims is no different or less devastating than that of other families. Just as the terrorists drew no lines in choosing their victims, our country must draw no lines in helping to heal the wounds of all Americans who suffered personal of losses from these horrific attacks. Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind loved ones. I urge the Justice Department to do justice to the bonds of gay and lesbian victims, just as you would any other. Thoughtfully yours, Individual Comment Stamford, CT September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
