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.

Wednesday, March 20, 2002 2:05 PM Stop Benefit discrimination To: 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 Dear Mr. Zwick, Re: Stop benefit discrimination from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund I believe that discrimination is un-American. I find it unbelievable that the families and partners of some of the women and men who were held up as heroines and heros of the September 11 tragedy are being denied benefits from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund, as those heroines and heroes have been discovered to have been lesbian or gay. These partners, or when there is no partner, the family, of these lesbian and gay heroines and heros should automatically receive the same beneifts as heterosexual spouses or family members. I ask that you use the power of your office to see that this un-American discrimination ceases immediately, and the partners and families of lesbians and gays who died September 11th are compensated. Thank you. Sincerely, Individual Comment Monterey, CA September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-20 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
