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. Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 5:30 PM Subject: re: Compensation for All Victims of 9/11 Dear Mr. Zwick and others to whom it may concern: It is my sincere hope, the Bush Administration and Justice Department do not make compensation, for the victims and relatives of the 9/11 attacks, a "political statement" or "agenda item". The "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund" should not be used as a lightening rod for political grand-standing. I strongly encourage the inclusion of all human beings, affected by this National tragedy, in any relief effort provided. Specifically, it would be repugnant to exclude surviving loved ones of lesbian/gay family members, when doling out remedial resources. Such exclusion would only serve to deepen the pain felt by those survivors, adding vast insult to incomprehensible injury. Surely, such an act of malice would be considered equally repugnant by the current administration and those heading-up the Justice Department, whose family-friendly focus has been much touted throughout the press. Please, do not disappoint this active community member and long-time voter.
