September 11 Victim Compensation Fund

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 Sept. 11, each of whom left behind
loved ones. I urge the Department to honor those bonds by treating the
families of gay and lesbian victims as you would any other.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Nashua, New Hampshire
