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 07, 2002 2:49 PM Victim's Compensation My husband, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp, was killed in the world trade center on Sept. 11 while attending the &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp conference at &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp. He was a &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp., a subsidiary of &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp. My husband was 39 years old. We have one child, our daughter who turned 10 years old on Sept. 22. Because of the salary cap imposed by the Special Master, which does not even match my husband's base salary, let alone allow for bonus and other benefits, and because of the generous insurance policies of &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp, I and our daughter will receive nothing from the income compensation portion of the fund if the fund remains as currently structured. I am older than my husband (I am 48), have worked only part time in recent years for an hourly wage in a much less in-demand field and as such my earning potential is much much lower than his. I had understood that Congress' intent was to as much as possible, and within reason, try to maintain the economic level which existed before the attacks. In my case, if the restrictions remain as they currently are written, our economic level will in no way be reflective of my husband's support. I plead with you to raise the annual salary cap to at least twice the current level and to not deduct insurance and other benefit payments from the income award. Thank you for your consideration.
