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. Sunday, January 20, 2002 12:40 PM Funds dispersal I believe that most Americans feel that all each life lost in the WTC attacks was equally precious and valuable, and I would like to see the funds dispersed equally, minus insurance (but not pension) payments. This was a tragic but unanticipated event--much like the KC bombing or any accident. I do not feel that those who were financially better off merit lifelong support for the lifestyle to which they had become accustomed any more than the families of others killed in similar events. Inequal distribution unfairly disadvantages the families of the younger worker who may have just begun a career, the lower-level employee who may yet have risen above his or her station, and those lower paid workers who were closer to retirement age. It advantages those who were fortunate enough to have put money away, invested well, paid off their house, etc. Please deduct insurance payments over a reasonable amount and divide the funds equally. It is the only fair way.
