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. January 3, 2002 Mr. Kenneth Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs, Civil Div. U.S. Department of Justice Main Building--Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington DC 20530 Dear Mr. Zwick: I would like to share my concerns over the distribution of the donations to the victims' families of the World Trade Center and Pentagon disasters. I think it's fair to assume that none of the contributors planned or hoped to make--in some cases--recipients multi-millionaires. Rather, there was an outpouring of compassion and patriotism to aid the victims' families, pay their mortgages, feed and clothe their children, and not have them suffer a financial strain while trying to put their lives back together. The victims who provided their families with life insurance to protect them should be commended and not have their families penalized in order to give money to those whose providers weren't wise enough to protect them. Now I understand the Federal Government, in an attempt to protect the airlines from lawsuits, is paying out a great sum to these same people; and the contributors will be hit again by taxes to pay for this. Another concern is that, with the hard feelings that are sure to be present, there will be no outpouring of monies to help victims' families of catastrophes in the future. Thank you for considering my concerns; I hope you will share with me your thoughts in these areas. Sincerely, Individual Comment Yardley, PA cc. Congressman James C.
