Monday, January 14, 2002 11:36 AM Comments on Interim Final Rules Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 My name is &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and I'm the father of one of the deceased Victims of the Sept 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. My concerns regarding the interim final rules are basically two: 1. Knowing what the final award will be prior to official acceptance. If claimant is required to waive their right to pursue legal action it would seem only reasonable that the exact settlement to claimant is verified and agreed to prior to acceptance. This would eliminate the possibility of any misunderstandings. 2. Private insurance premiums paid by the Victims were paid to protect their loved ones financially in the event of death. Their responsible behavior should in no way be offset by this horrific terrorist act. If the concern of the Federal Government is minimizing the use of American dollars then freeze the assets of the 60 countries engaged in or supporting terrorist activities and use those monies to compensate the impact to the treasury. Wrongful death, i.e.. murder, should have no beneficial financial offset flowing to anyone culpable on the back of the murdered victims. Finally, by way of an editorial comment; I sincerely hope that no additional weight is given to the numerous mass e-mailings going to this site on the part of those groups with an obvious political agenda. In fact it is my hope that they be discounted. thank you Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-14 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
