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. Sunday, February 17, 2002 1:51 PM Compensation I am appalled by what I read about this whole mess. The group which will be advantaged the most are the lawyers, as usual, who are lining up to the trough again. Mr. Zwick, you need to ignore the baloney they offer. While it is disgusting that so many lost their loved ones, it is just not the responsibility of any other person, or the government (except perhaps the CIA) to compensate anyone for their losses. Had these people been killed in automobile accidents, their life insurance or other private insurances would be all that would be received by their survivors. Perhaps. The real kicker was the woman who was disgusted by the 1.5 million she was told she would receive, as it was a laughable amount to her. This kind of reaction sickens me. I gave a whopping amount to the American Red Cross, and am now kind of sorry that I did so, as I suspect it was as ill-used as this fund may very well wind up being.
