NEW YORK, Oct 21, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 657 employees in the destruction of New York's World Trade Center, has offered $25 million for a memorial.
But Howard Lutnick's contribution comes with a condition, the New York Daily News reported. He wants the memorial to list the names of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001, grouped by company and with office locations and ages included.
Family members oppose the current plan to list names at random. Police and fire unions also want their members listed by company and with their rank.
Lutnick's brother was one of those killed on Sept. 11, 2001. Cantor Fitzgerald, a bond trading firm, was the hardest hit company at the trade center.
"I want to support the memorial," Lutnick said. "But I only want to support the memorial if the families are taken care of. All of the family groups want this. They don't want a random list of names."
