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. Tuesday, November 06, 2001 12:59 PM 9/11 Victims Compensation I feel strongly that the charitable contributions received by the families of victims should not be consider a "collateral source" in the distribution of federal aid. I think that I speak for many Americans when I say that the intent of our donations was not just to make the families "whole". Given the senseless loss of their loved ones nothing could ever make them whole, emotionally or financially, but our hope was to make their lives easier by providing some financial security. The combination of charitable aid and federal aid should do more than just cover their expenses and make up for lost wages, etc - it should provide an additional cushion that removes some of the day-to-day worries about finances which are normally borne by both parents.
