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, March 11, 2002 2:35 PM benefits for Gay and Lesbian surviving partners To the September 11 Fund, I am writing to find out if gay and lesbians are to be denied benefits from the September 11 Fund -- if surviving partners and their children will be excluded from payments made to the families of the victims of this tragedy. I can only begin to imagine how complicated the process of disbursing payments might be, and I am hoping that the comments of Kenneth Feinberg on NBC's "Meet the Press," March 10, 2002, were incorrect (see below for comments). If changes to state law are being made to include illegal aliens (a step I find completely appropriate, and in line with the sentiments of unity that moved through us as a nation in the wake of September 11), then I am certain we possess the both the will and the ability to extend the help to all who need and deserve it. My partner and I made a contribution to the September 11 Fund believing that all who needed help would receive it. I look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Individual Comment Durham, N.C.
