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 12:19 PM wrong precedent We should have never engaged in government compensating victims of terrorist acts. As I am deeply sadden about the events, my family, co-workers, associates, and most people I know took it upon themselves to doate to the victims. In addition, most workers and associates that perished in the event, had retirement funds, life insurance, and other forms of income in the event of death. In addition, charitable organizations and corporations have stepped up to the plate as well. Having the government now pay opens up a box that we may never close. I understand it is now law, since it was passed by congress and signed by the President to help divert potential litigations against the airlines. Therefore, I want the rules stating that in return for payment, the victims will not seek ANY other litigations, not just against the airlines. And I think compensation revceived from insurance proceeds should be considered and used to modify the payments. I cannot see where this is the government's fault, nor the airlines, nor the taxpayer. That's why so many people were willing to give freely.
