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. Thursday, December 20, 2001 4:20 PM Victim Compensation Fund - Published rules & compensation matrices. To whom it may concern: I had just reviewed the published matrices. I don't know who or with what in mind the matrices were created, but it seems rather obvious that the location of the disaster did not even come into their mind when calculating potential economic loss. The WTC hosted the people with the highest potential for increased income. Starting salaries including bonuses are higher than the median income for the entire country and yet unfortunately the numbers shown seem to treat those that had to graduate from Ivy League colleges such as Columbia with degrees in such fields such as economics or other sciences, recruited by such companies as Cantor Fitzgerald as though they had they had the earning potential of a stock person in a local Kmart. Young single people just starting out in life are penalized to such a degree that to a cynical person it would seem that the Special Master found a way to guarantee that we would have to hire lawyers to sue all the parties to the disaster. A 25 year old that at a company such as Cantor starting out with $45K per year is assumed that he would only have accumulated only 600K over the next 38+ years. The $600K is computed based on the published number of $846484 less the $250,000 for none economic loss. These numbers are an insult to ones intelligence and to the people who perished at those sites and will guarantee that very few will avail themselves of this route. At the very least the numbers published are 1/3 what those in the financial industry would have guessed at the low range of economic loss.
