February 26, 2002 Kenneth L. Zwick Director Office of Management Programs, Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Re: VICTIMS COMPENSATION FUND non-economic: PAIN & SUFFERING Dear Mr. Zwick: We lost our only son, &nbsp , in the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. He was 26 years old. We will live with this terrible nightmare the rest of our lives. While we truly believe that most of the compensation should go to his wife, as the law stands now, we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering. -Our lives have been destroyed and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering. -Our lives have been ruined by his loss and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering. _Our lives have been turned up-side-down and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering. -Our pain is devastating and will last a lifetime and yet we have no rights as parents to receive compensation for our horrific pain and suffering. Our son can never be replaced - OUR RIGHT AS PARENTS IS TO HAVE A LIFETIME OF PAIN AND SUFFERING. A Parents' Pain and Suffering should be part of non-economic fund's regulation. Our pain & suffering should be completely separate and apart from the compensation that the wife and children are going to receive. It should not be included as one package in the award to the wife and children, even if it is written clearly as such. This will cause MUCH FRICTION in the surviving families-DO NOT DO THIS!! A way should be found to include parents as "beneficiaries" under the Fund without at the same time reducing the amounts otherwise payable to to the surviving spouse and children. Thank you in advance, we remain Sincerely yours, Individual Comment Morganville, NJ September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-02-26 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
