Comment on how 9/11 DOJ victims fund should be distributed
To: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs
U.S. Department of Justice
The Justice Department should include among relatives eligible
for compensation those who lost their life partners as well as de
facto parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or
marital status. Please follow the example already set by New
York Governor Pataki in granting compensation benefits "on a showing
of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone
who shared with the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and
the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
