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, February 08, 2002 12:38 PM Disbelief To whom it may concern: After listening to comments about the compensation program, I am saddened to hear and read about victims who are upset by the outcome of the program. If, as happens everyday, a spouse or parent had been lost under many other very dreadful and horrific situations (fire, murder, DWI wreck, earthquake, etc.), the family may or may not receive any compensation. Are these "everyday" victims less important, are the ramifications to their families less devastating, are their needs less? I would venture to guess the vast majority of families who lose their caregiver would not receive $1.6 million. If families were well prepared, good for them for being farsighted to provide for their loved ones in case of an "everyday" death. I applaud the government for reaching out to these families, however, I feel it should be viewed as a privilege, not a right, to receive such compensation. Thank you for giving each of us a chance to comment.
