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. Wednesday, November 07, 2001 6:49 PM victim and victim family compensation We believe that a common sense approach with some guidelines on amounts and needs would be the best. People all over the country cope all of the time with the loss of the breadwinner in their families and with insufficient life insurance. If families planned well, and they have life insurance coming if they have lost a loved one their need may be less than those who didn't plan ahead. Does that mean they don't deserve to receive some of the money that other Americans have given through the goodness of their hearts? Of course not, and I don't think any of us who have donated believe that. But the money wasn't meant to make anyone wealthy. The money can never compensate for the loss of a loved one. If someone was injured they may need more money than the families who lost a loved one. Children should not have to worry about paying for their education when they've lost a parent in this tragedy. Older people who were being helped financially by a child should not have to do without. Thanks for your attention.
