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, March 12, 2002 12:43 PM How could you do this? I can only hope that I am one of thousands who feel strongly enough to send this to you.  It is the obligation and responsibility of the US government, NOT the State government, to manage the allocation of these funds.  We are not talking about tax refunds here, why would this ever be managed at a state level?  What are you going to do about the hundreds of international citizens affected by this tragedy (not to mention the GAY international citizens)?  It sounds like you didn't quite think this through.   This is money which should be distributed accordingly to ALL victims' families of 9/11, gay or straight.  And if the US government is not prepared to accomodate such a request (due to the various marriage laws around the country), well maybe this is your cue to step in and make some long overdue adjustments to the amount of flexibility (read ignorance) we allow our individual states to display when it comes to recognition of gay rights.   Kenneth Feinberg, shame on you.  In one interview you managed to show how little you are willing to put yourself on the line on such an important initiative.  The American public deserves someone stronger than you.
