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. Friday, March 15, 2002 10:07 PM Equal Compensation I must say how sorry I am to have heard about your Final Policy, which effectively disbars gay and lesbian partners and families of 9-11 victims from compensation. The tragedy of 9-11 effected everyone in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight 93. The terrorists had little concern as to whether their victims were gay or straight. Why should our government have such concern? I understand that illegal aliens will be able to come forward to gain their just compensation. I have no complaint on that front-they are just as injured as anyone else. It is strange, however, that their path to restitution has been smoothed, while gay and lesbian Americans have had barriers placed in their way. Surely similar accomodation to that granted to the illegals can be found. I would expect that our government would be as concerned to mitigate the suffering of all Americans who went through the horror of 9-11 as it is to wage the war on terrorism. Please reconsider your policy so that true justice can be served.
