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. Monday, January 28, 2002 9:01 PM compensation Text of the Victims Compensation Fund states: SEC. 403. PURPOSE. It is the purpose of this title to provide compensation to any individual (or relatives of a deceased individual) who was physically injured or killed as a result of the terrorist-related aircraft crashes of September 11, 2001. If the government wishes to compensate the victims, then the compensation should not be reduced by any amount simply because the victims are being "compensated" by other sources. If, however, this is an attempt to provide a financial "safety net" for victims, then it is appropriate to take into consideration what other support they have. As for calculating lost earnings, I find this an exercise in folly. My brother attended Harvard for one year, had he died then one might assume he would go on to earn a significant income. He then moved to California and worked many odd jobs, most not payinf very much. Had he died then, his projected income would have been quite modest. He now holds a significant position in a respected company and certainly is earning more than anyone in his California days might have projected. I am thankful that I don't have to deal with these issues personally. I hope that those who do will be clear in what they are trying to do, and do it the best they can, and I hope that the victims of this horrible tragedy do not rely on money to ease their pain.
