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. Saturday, January 26, 2002 2:41 PM I have the greatest sympathy for the losses suffered by those whose loved ones died on 9/11. However, I believe that the $1.63 million offered by the federal fund, which is TAX FREE, is a generous offer and one which the federal government has no obligation to make. I have heard the complaints about the unfairness of deducting pensions, life insurance policies, etc., but each family will still end up with $1.63 million even with these deductions, albeit not necessairly from the federal government in full or even in part. Let's not also forget the multi-millions of dollars collected by various charities which will be distributed to these families and the fact that President Bush has excused these survivors from paying federal taxes on any income gotten in 2001 and 2002. If any family believes they have been treated unfairly, or that they are being used as scapegoats to save the airlines, they are always free to take their chances with a lawsuit. I hope that reason will prevail, and that the emotionalism of the situation will not be exploited.
