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. Monday, January 28, 2002 2:03 PM Compensation K. L Zwick, I realize the comment period for Final Rule has ended, and after reviewing the comments posted on the DOJ website, I wish to submit a comment for later consideration. The entire issue of the Government compensating the victims of the horrible 9/11 is clearly WRONG! Everyone feels sincere sympathy for those killed or injured in such a tragedy, but to provide a pay out to their survivors using taxpayers funds is just plain wrong, and without precedent. Many, many millions were given to charities and funds set up for the victims through individual and corporate donations. But the government is not responsible for the terrorists actions, and neither are the airlines, and certainly not the American taxpayers! The victims had the same opportunity to insure against untimely death as the rest of us do. Additionally, after reading many of the submissions posted during the comment period, I am appalled at the greed evident, and at the opportunistic reasoning that subsidies should be given to parents, siblings, homosexual friends of the victims, and even to "undocumented immigrants"(which I read to be illegal aliens) and foreign visitors! It is simply sickening! To think so many donated so much to aid the victims and surviving dependent family! After seeing the attitudes expressed, I will certainly not be donating to any "victim's funds" in the future! Such greed and lack of appreciation is pathetic and shameful. It appears that the "best" of NY was seen in the heroes of 9/11, and in the attitudes of many regarding "compensation" we are seeing the "worst."
