Date: 3/14/02 Kenneth L. Zwick Director, Office of Management Programs Civil Division, US Dept of Justice Main Building Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 Mr. Zwick I am writing to tell you how shocked I was to hear that you will not be compensating the gay and lesbian victims of 9/11. It is my understanding that no payments are being made to gay and lesbian partners and family members if there is no state law to sanction a payment. My family made contributions to 9/11 funds for ALL of the victims: black, white, janitors and/or CEOs regardless of their sexual orientation. Your discrimination of the distribution of these funds is outrageous. Do you really feel it is right to deny a loved one just compensation (obviously no amount can be just in this situation) because they are not of the "correct" sex? I understand you are "allowing" compensation to illegal aliens and their families who were victimized in the attacks. Why are you willing to overlook federal laws while helping aliens but are standing on state law to avoid paying a select group? This does not make sense. I hope you will re-evaluate you inequalities in this matter and do the right thing.
