Tuesday, December 04, 2001 5:09 PM Comments on Regulations for 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Mr. Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs, Civil Division US Department of Justice Dear Sir, I am writing to add to the public comment on your work in deciding the criteria for those who will be benefactors of the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund". I am very concern that radical elements of this country will attempt to sway these administrative rules to exclude grieving surviving direct or indirect victims of the events of September 11 attacks using a far too limiting set of rules. I would expect that this fund should provide financial support to any surviving victim of this tragedy regardless of sexual orientation. I believe the chief criteria should be that the survivor was engaged in a committed relationship with a victim of the blast and/or relied on the support of a killed victim for their survival. Such a determination should be determinable legally through such attributes as having shared and mutually paid for a common place of residence, shared and were legal owners of a common bank account and/or were related direct dependents such as all adopted children of a blast victim. It would be a total mis-carriage of the mission of the "Civil Division" of the Justice Department should such victim categories not be included for relief from a fund setup by the resources of ALL citizens of the United States! Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
