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. Saturday, January 26, 2002 7:32 PM Federal Compensation I cannot believe that people are calling the victims families greedy. That's because Mr. Feinberg has led everyone to believe that the average payment families would be getting would be $1.6 million. The truth of the matter is that after the deductions of life insurance (that the deceased paid for himself) social security to the children (even thought the deceased paid into social security and will never collected any benefits), pensions (in some cases the deceased paid into his own 401K because he was self-employed so it was like a savings account), the government will be giving some families nothing because the deceased had planned for the future, a future that has been taken away from him. This makes no sense to me. The package was to prevent families from suing and to compensate them for their loss. However, Mr. Feinberg doesn't care if some families get nothing. These men in some cases made a very good salary. So now the families have no husband, no father, no salary. He also decides when he thinks a person would have retired. He also discriminates against the higher wage earners. He wants to give $250,000 for pain and suffering. Is that the going rate for someone who has to spend maybe the next 25 years alone because her husband and companion is gone. There isn't enough money in the world to pay for what has been lost an the lives that have been destroyed. Mr. Feinberg doesn't want to give a fair amount to these families. Maybe we should ask Mr. Feinberg's wife what a fair amount would be if her husband was in those buildings.
