Monday, March 18, 2002 5:08 PM Please treat all the victims' families fairly 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 Dear Sir: I'm not the most eloquent person who will write to you today, please bear with me. I'm writing to express my extreme sadness and horror that the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund will not be compensating the partners of gay and lesbian people lost on September 11th in the same manner as spouses of heterosexual victims. I urge you to do whatever you can to see that these families are acknowledged with the respect and support we owe each one of them. Certainly we do not want to further these people's anguish by denying them the benefits of their heterosexual counterparts. We are ALL Americans. And as an American I want to be proud that our country does not discriminate within it's own Federal Programs. Do us proud - do the right thing - get benefits for these partners/families/loved ones.
