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, January 08, 2002 2:25 PM "The Act" and "The Fund" As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts, our congress has passed the captioned into law with their hearts. The overly generous "Fund" is setting a precedent that will ultimately be another burden for the taxpayer. A lesser amount would have been more appropriate. But since it is done, it begs the question, "How can you place the dollar value of John Doe's life above that of Jim Doe? Because he earned a higher salary? I think not. Because he had a higher mortgage? I think not. Does your Trust allow more of your estate to one child than another because of their salary or insurance, or the lack of? I think not. If you are bent on spending 6 billion or more of our money, do it fairly and equally. I cannot help but think of the Capitol policemen that were shot some time ago. The serviceman that was recently killed overseas. Anyone that lost their life innocently at the hands of others. How much of that 6 billion will go their way? None, I suspect.
