Wednesday, January 09, 2002 10:43 AM September 11th Victim Compensation Fund January 9, 2002 Director, Office of Management Programs Kenneth Zwick USDoJ, Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Director, Office of Management Programs Zwick: as someone who lost my father in the world trade center along with many peole that my family knew that worked in the upper floors of 1 world trade center, i feel that the proposed details and stipulations of the fund are extremely unfair to many. my mother, brother and I were very disssapointed when we heard the results. my father was 54 years old, was planning on working for many more years, he loved his job, had worked there for about 20 years and was very successful at what he did. he made much more that the cap of $225,000. i do not see how one can cap someone's earnings at that rate. then to take out what someone's family has received in life insurance and donations from the many charities. one would think that at a time like this, that the government would give some kind of payback to those people that have been paying the majority of the taxes over the years. basically as it works out, we would not see any such beneifts from the fund, we might even end up paying the government money. if the government could spend all those billions of dollars to bail out the airlines after the weeks of sept. 11, you would think that it could assist those people better. i could see if my father had died of natural causes, but this was an act or terrorism. there should be some kind of better solution to this fund to make it equitable to those on the higher end of the scale who have been eliminated from the scale or capped out at $225,000. some may think that if someone made all that money that they dont need any more assistance from the fund, but guess what , my mom has mortgages, she has cars, she pays taxes and she does have normal expenses like everyone else. they may be proportionately higher, but they are still expenses. it should be interesting to see what eventually happens, i know many peole that have lost their spouse, and they are extremly unhappy. thank you for allowing me to express a small portion of my opinion.
