Saturday, January 19, 2002 5:57 PM Missing my father Dear Mr. Feinberg: On 9/11, my father &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp was tragically killed while he was at work in the WTC. He worked in the private sector as did the majority of the people who worked in the Twin Towers. The DOJ, however, elected to use outdated and obsolete military and civil service data and has applied it to the private sector. We have become painfully aware that the interim rules of the plan are fraught with many deficiencies which need to be amended. The most egregious of which are: 1) underestimating the earnings of civilians in the private sector (2) using inappropriate data that underestimate earnings growth in the private sector (3) not allowing for recovery for lost household services (4) penalizing families who exercised good financial planning and (5) signing away our rights. A full review and revision based on up-to-date data would be greatly appreciated by the undersigned.
