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. Friday, January 18, 2002 9:15 PM While the events of 9/11 are tragic indeed, I (and many others) do not feel it is the governments responsibility to make the survivors wealthy because of their loss of a loved one. The fund should be designed to help, the key word being "help" those less fortunate! I find it appalling that the family members can get up and say "you can't put a price on our loss" yet that is exactly what they are doing. It seems as if money is a top priority for many of the survivors. Many of the survivors are better off financially than the average tax payer (who will be footing the bill for this fund). I gave very generously to numerous fund raisers for WTC victims, as did most of America because we do care about our fellow citizens and want to help take care of them. I just don't feel it is the governments responsibility. If a tragic event like this happens again is the government prepared to help those victims the same way?
