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. Tuesday, November 06, 2001 10:20 AM Victim Compensation While I realize that there is a staggering burden in deciding how best to distribute the funds to the victims of the World Trade Center disaster, and there most likely is the need for some federal control over the disbursement of funds; I do not feel that the victims should have to literally "beg" for a fair share of the funds. For instance: for those who were lucky enough to have been able to HAVE a funeral for a family member, it was most likely paid for by friends, savings, or some other means. Life insurance had not been paid (due to the red tape required). Why not include burial expenses to these families from the donated funds? It was an expense they surely hadn't planned on before that fateful day. Perhaps some of them had to "borrow" the funds for these expenses. To have lost your "significant other" in such a tragic manner, and most having children to tend to, mortgages & bills that are piling up.... these people need some money NOW, not after the questions have been put forth before what will appear to be 50 committees to best decide who gets what and when..... Help these people NOW--that's what generous Americans did--without stipulation as to how the money was to be spent--- Sincerely, Individual Comment Chester, VA September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-06 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
