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, November 26, 2001 3:53 AM Sept 11 Victims Compensation Fund Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick: Thank you and your staff for your efforts in establishing and administering this Fund. Please find below my thoughts regarding the Victims Compensation Fund as permitted under the â??commentsâ?? deadlines which have been set forth. 1. Calculation of loss should be consistent and straightforward. Â A loss is a loss regardless of its implications: i.e. the calculation of economic and non-economic losses to an offspringâ??s estate through the death of that offspring should be no different from the calculation of loss to a family person who had created different obligations. 2. Some linkages, like a grid, between categories of victims families and dollar amounts of payment may be necessary due to the planned 120 day turnaround target. But these should be created with enough fine differentiations to enable frequent close matches to circumstances without need for special hearings. Supporting documentation should be fairly simply to submit. 3. However, a hearing/comment opportunity should be provided for those extraordinary situations which you cannot predict today. You can generate new streamlining rules for these as the learning process moves forward. 4. An individual's foresight in providing his estate with private life insurance or the estate's good fortune in receiving a charitable grant should be outside the considerations for the fund's payout amounts. Thank you for your attention.
