RE: 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
Mr. Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice
Dear Mr. Zwick:
In response to the Department's request for public comments regarding the
forthcoming regulations for implementing and the administering "September 11
Victim Compensation Fund," I write urging the availability of compensation for
ALL victims. Gay and lesbian families were equally affected by this experience
and have suffered in exactly the same way as all other families.
Honoring all Americans, 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.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Ann Arbor, MI
