Relief fund distribution

December 26, 2001

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

As you consider rules for administering the September 11 Victims Relief Fund, I ask that you include among relatives eligible for compensation only those who were indeed related to the victims by birth or marriage. Through the centuries, 'family' has been understood to be defined by birth and marriage, and I am sure that those people within the definition will easily use up the money in the relief fund. Please do not allow other definitions of 'family' to take needed money away from spouses and children of the victims.

Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you about your efforts to ensure that victims of the September 11 attacks have receive necessary help from the relief fund.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Eau Claire, WI
