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. January 28, 2002 Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20530 Dear Mr. Zwick: Please accept the following comments. I apologize that I missed the deadline for comments (1/22/02). I have three points to make: Victims of 9/11 who have generous death benefits and life insurance should receive less money from the fund. It was argued otherwise in the Washington Post on 1/28/02. Clearly, people who have generous death benefits or life insurance have less of a need for money from the fund. I am sure some of the 9/11 victims and their families enjoyed a life style many of us dream of (nice stock broker salary, nice home, nice cars). But this compensation fund should not turn into a lifestyle maintenance fund. It is not my responsibility as a taxpayer to maintain the present lifestyle of the 9/11 victim's families. This is not the governments responsibility either. I agree wholeheartedly with compensating spouses and children of victims (especially children). However, parents of 9/11 victims should receive no compensation unless their child was providing SUBSTANTIAL financial support to them. I know there are situations where children help their parents (help pay the mortgage for example). But if you were enjoying no financial support from your child, you have lost nothing FINANCIALLY and are therefore not entitled to fund money. Sincerely, Individual Comment Washington, D. C.
