Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, January 23, 2002 3:25 AM comment 9/11 victim compensation fund As a mother of a California Firefighter/Paramedic, "there by the grace of God go I". I think this fund should not just include those who sought medical treatment by 9/12/2001, but the many, many firefighters and others, be they construction workers or residents who have or will become affected by the toxicological nightmare within the confines of "Ground Zero" As a former federal worker, I was poisoned in my workplace by carbon monoxide & mercury, so I have an idea what lies ahead for these people. Do not have the Federal Government look the other way and deny the cause and effect of what exists. The scientific material "out there" is mostly population based, however as I am also the mother of a University Medical student, I can tell you that there will soon be research done on particulate matter and it's effects directly on individuals. Any personal injury lawsuit gives an amount of time from date of discovery of injury to sue. To withhold this from these victims would be cruel and heartless, for many like myself, will lose all ability to protect and serve or earn an income to support their selves and families. Your compensation seems to be based upon actuarial tables and appears to be equitable and fair for those who have lost loved ones and wish to proceed with their lives and an immediate cash settlement. But there must be an additional amount of some sort for "pain & suffering". I am of age to remember the beginnings of airline hijackers and the Federal Government as well as the Airline Industry are both to blame for what should have been a preventable disaster, due to indifference or greed respectfully.
