September 11 Victim Compensation Fund
Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice
Dear Mr. Zwick:
I am writing in response to the Department's request for public
comments on the forthcoming regulations for implementing
and administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund."
I strongly urge that any such regulations ensure that
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
New York, NY
