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, March 12, 2002 8:47 PM No Subject To whom it may concern: I am extremely dismayed and angered by remarks made by Kenneth Feinberg on "Meet the Press" that benefits of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund will not extend to the partners of gay and lesbian victims. This is even more angering when families of illegal aliens will be eligible to receive benefits. Mr. Feinberg states that he cannot go against state laws or regulations concerning same sex partners, yet it's no problem to bend the rules in the case of illegal imigrants. I disagree strongly with this decision by the Department of Justice to restrict eligiblity of same sex partners to the benefits of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. I demand that this restriction be eliminated, and that same sex partners be made eligible for these benenfits. Don't you agree that all law abiding, tax paying citizens of the United States should have, at the very least, the same rights and benefits as illegal aliens? I'm sorry that I contributed to this fund.
