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. Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:20 AM 9/11 Fund is discriminating against Gays Sir or Madam: This story has been passed along to me, and I must emphatically add my name to the list of people who think it an outrage that gays are being excluded from benefits of the 9/11 fund. It is really counter to what we claim our stand to be as a country in this war, and is not justified by Mr.Feinberg's facile evasion and downright hiding behind state law. It is not a justifiable position, legally or ethically, and I must protest strongly the policy decision that has been made. And it is just that - a policy decision that has been made to explicitly exclude a group that is not popular with decision makers. To support this policy certainly gives the strong impression that the President and Congress are adjudicating in a manner that is hypocrital in the extreme. I can only hope that either I am misinformed as to how benefits are actually being paid, or that something is being done to resolve this terrible injustice. And one more thing: I would strongly recommend the immediate replacement of Mr. Feinberg with someone in possession of more political savvy and sensitivity.
