Comment on FR Doc # E9-22030

I support expanded eligibility for sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, and emergency leave transfer to include domestic partners in committed relationships. This change is so obviously good for government employees as to be laughable that there should even have to be a comment period. Of course, this expansion does not go nearly far enough to allow employees like me full and equal benefits for our long-term partners. Even if we never use sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, or emergency leave transfer, we should be given all the benefits that every other "married" federal employee has.
